Help me make it meaningful

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

That’s why I’m getting active and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health as I work up a sweat, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.

The big run!

Saturday 25th Jan
Unfortunately due to a hamstring injury at kay 35 I was unable to finish the whole 50km ultramarathon. I was able to do these things:
1. Ran 35kms.
2. Just showed up for my 1st race event ever.
3. Was able with the help of a lot of people not only hit but surpassed my goal of $5,000 for mental illness and suicide prevention.

Thank you for not only backing me but my cause for black dog institute!!!

Get around me as I run my first ever race! A 50km ultramarathon!

Saturday 4th Jan
I recently had a massive loss in my life as my father committed suicide on November the 19th. I now want to do my part to help men’s mental health become a regular conversation and I’d like to do my part for suicide prevention. Let’s get this topic spoken about but more importantly let’s get men to talk about their issues freely and without judgement of being weak or unmanly.

Get around it!!
