Hyrox Fitness Race

Ladies and Gentlemen! Myself and 3 friends are taking on Hyrox fitness race again this year and have decided to raise money and awareness for mental health. We did it last year and I wasn’t going to do it this year but been hearing so many stories lately of work mates, friends and family who have had battles or are currently having struggles with mental health.

In the construction industry that we are all apart of it is a real issue. On average every second day someone takes their life. 

Life has its up and downs and every single person deals with them differently. It’s okay to not be okay, it’s okay to be vulnerable but please don’t suffer in silence and speak to anyone close to you. And everyone check in on your work colleagues, friends and family and don’t ever regret not asking “Are you okay?”

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 we are 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 us create a meaningful moment for mental health as we work up a sweat, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.
