I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

This July, I’m joining K’s for R U OK? to stay connected, develop healthy habits and help to create a world where we're connected and protected from suicide.

Each week I'll be consistent in my clocking as I walk (run, wheel or ride) to help start more life-changing conversations. 

By donating to my page you are helping R U OK? provide free, essential resources to schools, workplaces, families, and communities across Australia. Giving them the tools and confidence to spot the signs and to start a conversation that could change the life of someone who's struggling. And you'll be putting a big smile on my face.

Thank you so much.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Support My 100km Challenge in July for R U OK? - In Memory of Heath 💙🫶

Hi everyone,

This July, I am embarking on a significant journey to support a cause close to my heart. I will be challenging myself to walk, run a total of 100 kilometers throughout the month to raise funds and awareness for R U OK?, an incredible organization dedicated to mental health and suicide prevention.

This mission is particularly meaningful to me as I am doing it in memory of Heath, my brother who left us too soon. Heath's spirit, strength, and determination will be with me every step of the way, pushing me to keep going even when it gets tough.

Why R U OK?

R U OK? is an organization that focuses on starting conversations and offering support to those who may be struggling with their mental health. Their mission is to inspire and empower people to meaningfully connect with those in their world and lend support when they need it the most. By asking a simple question, "Are you OK?", we can help reduce the stigma around mental health and potentially save lives.

My Goal

My goal is to cover 100 kilometers over the course of July. This challenge is not just about the physical distance but also about making a difference. Each kilometer I cover will be a tribute to Heath and a step towards raising awareness and funds for mental health initiatives.

How You Can Help

Your support means the world to me and can come in many forms:

• Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, helps R U OK? continue their vital work. Your donations will directly support their programs and initiatives.

• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. The more people we reach, the greater the impact we can make.

• Join the Conversation: Take a moment to ask those around you, "Are you OK?" You never know how much someone might need that simple question.

• Encourage Me: Your words of encouragement and support will keep me motivated throughout this challenge. Knowing that I have a community behind me will make every step a little easier.

Follow My Journey

I will be documenting my progress on social media, sharing updates, photos, and milestones. Follow along to see how far I’ve come and to cheer me on. Your virtual support will be a great source of strength.

Final Thoughts

Taking on this 100km challenge in memory of Heath is both a personal and communal effort. Together, we can honor his memory, raise awareness, and contribute to a cause that helps so many people. Let's make a difference together.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. Let's take this journey one step at a time.
