Lets make a difference in honour of Luke
In 2025, we lost a friend, an endurance athlete and a Smurf's Backyard Ultra competitor - Luke Raffles. We aim to honour Luke's memory and help other men who may be facing mental health challenges.
In 2025, come along to Smurf's BYU, run as many 6.7km laps as you can, and support this cause.
Every day, thousands of Australian men like Luke 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.
We are 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.
Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. Your support ensures more men get the help they need, anytime, anywhere.
Thank you!

This is so sad. I ran several yards with Luke at Smurfs in 2023 and he was such a decent friendly human being. This is a super worthy cause and I hope you reach your target and more ❤️
