I'm fundraising for...

This year I’m taking part in [mo]re than a run, a powerful community-led movement that uses running as a tool to support mental health and prevent suicide. On the final Saturday of November, thousands of us across cities in Australia, New Zealand and beyond will be lacing up for this important cause. Every step I take and every dollar you donate helps fund the life-saving work of Movembe. Please support me if you can. Let’s make every stride count.

My Updates

Why I run.

Friday 31st Oct
I started running around 5 years ago.  In this time running has been a purely personal pursuit, something I've done just for myself as a method to express myself physically and reclaim my fitness after putting on a bunch of weight during lockdown in Melbourne city.  I quickly developed a love for running because it was something that I could do by myself to push my physical and mental limits and observe gradual improvements over time.

I'm taking part in this years (mo)re than a run because I want to utilize this craft of endurance running for something bigger than me.  

In my late 20's I was diagnosed with PTSD from my time as a forest blockader in Tasmania.  I experienced severe periods of traumatic flashbacks which led to suicidal ideation, hospitalization and social isolation.  i have also lost many (mostly male) friends to suicide and drug overdoses so men's mental health is an issue close to my heart that I'm proud to be advocating for through this event.

For a long time, I self-medicated with weed to numb the symptoms of PTSD.  As of today, I am 254 days sober from all drugs and alcohol and running long distance is definitely the main motivating factor for me to maintain sobriety from one day to the next.

If you have the means I would love your support for this cause.  Men often suffer in silence and die well before their time due to the stigma and fear of appearing soft when needing support. 

On the 29th of November I will be running 60km's to represent the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour, every hour around the world.  

I'm taking part in this event to help raise funds, spark conversation about mental health in our communities and encourage others to mobilize, running the streets in your own towns and cities.  

Thank you and God bless.
