I'm fundraising for...suicide prevention

This April, I’m running the MATES Big Lap 2025. 

5km each day through the challenge all April. It’s not just about pushing myself physically, but about taking a stand for suicide prevention and mental health in our industry.

Inspired by Bram a while back, and a great talk by the MATES team last week resonated and got me going again! 

My challenge is to run 5km every day for 30days! 

Every step, every lap, and every drop of sweat is about raising awareness and making sure no one struggles in silence. If you are struggling, reach out. I am hear to listen, walk, jog, run with you, not just this month but anytime!

I’m Running

Friday 4th Apr
Hey all, 

Was hoping to post daily! Thanks to Shaun, Kylie, and Max for getting out with me so far! Today was a bit wet and windy but got it done! 

Balancing between training hard to work towards my sub 25min 5k goal and just zone 2 recovery and getting each run done! 

Feeling good! Thanks all
