Run A Day

By Jack Parkinson

I've created this page because I want to make a difference.

Every day, thousands of Australian men face mental health struggles, relationship challenges, and personal crisis. MensLine Australia provides free, 24/7 professional counselling by phone and online chat - but demand exceeds funding, and too many calls go unanswered.

That’s why I'm fundraising - so more men can access life-changing support when they need it most. MensLine Australia provides counselling for mental health issues, relationship problems, anger management, substance abuse, suicide prevention, and emotional wellbeing.

My name is Jack, and I ended 2024 in a pretty bad state mentally, and decided to undergo the challenge of running at least 2km every day this year, to get out more and use running as a vessel for improving my own mental health. Not everyone has the opportunity to do that, and that's why I want to help.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Your support ensures more men get the help they need, anytime, anywhere.
