Help me make it meaningful
In 2021 I was closely affected by suicide. This changed my life forever, it pushed my life into a completely different direction for the better. I quickly understood the value of family, friendship, life and how quickly it can be all over.
Around 150 friends and family every month have to go through the same gut wrenching experience. Now I want to help build awareness, let more people know that they are not alone in this and that suicide isn't the only answer.
In July 2025 I will be running 600km throughout the month to raise money and awareness for suicide within young men. Around 150 men commit suicide every month in Australia, so I will be running that number in km per week for the month of July.
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.
Any and every donation is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If Hass can record 156 run metres with 61 post-contact from 18 carries, three offloads, 30 tackles without a miss and no errors in Game I injured, you can smash this out with your little niggle. ‘Don’t quit.

You’re not running alone. You’re running with purpose, for others, and with God beside you. "Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus." — Hebrews 12:1–2 What you’re doing matters keep going. You’re making light in dark places. 🙏🏃♂️💪

2021 was a tough year inspiring to see Ur making a positive change about suicide and its numbers sadly far too high not just with education but openly talking about it . Let's all help this great cause and keep the conversations open with the people around u.
