Mental Health Half Mara
On Friday 28th November, I’m running my first half marathon in honour of men’s mental health. I haven’t set a fundraising goal — I just want to see what I can raise in a week.
Every day, countless Australian men face silent battles: stress, mental health struggles and personal crises, often without anywhere to turn. MensLine Australia provides free, 24/7 professional counselling, but the demand far outweighs the funding. Too many calls go unanswered, and no one in crisis should be left waiting.
Men’s mental health is often overlooked or unspoken. I’ve seen how stress and emotional pressure can affect the men we care about — our fathers, partners, brothers, friends and colleagues.
This run is my way of honouring them and helping to create more support and awareness for those who need it.
