RUNNING 34 MARATHONS IN 34 DAYS FOR YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH
I'm taking on an extraordinary challenge, 34 marathons in 34 consecutive days to raise awareness for mental health and help raise $50,000 in support of the Black Dog Institute’s groundbreaking research into future-proofing youth mental health.

“I’M DOING THIS TO HOPEFULLY GIVE THE YOUNGER GENERATION THE MENTAL HEALTH TOOLS I NEVER HAD TO NAVIGATE LIFE.”
At the end of 2019 and the start of 2020, I lost three close friends to suicide. That heartbreak set me on a mission for change.
This journey of running 34 marathons in 34 days is about more than just endurance. It’s about breaking the stigma around mental health, sparking honest conversations, and drawing attention to the alarming rise in suicide rates, especially among young people.
My hope is that this challenge encourages others to check in with their mates and talk more openly about how they’re really feeling.
We're aiming to raise $50,000 for the Black Dog Institute, supporting their vital Future-Proofing research. This initiative is focused on identifying the early triggers of mental health struggles in young people and developing real, science-backed solutions to help them thrive.
