Metres for the Mind
This year marks our sixth year of our Metres for the Mind fundraising event. We truly believe in the positive impact that training and being part of a supportive community have on our mental well-being. Metres for the Mind is where we unite as a community to raise awareness for mental health.
The event involves a team challenge with each team (3-4 members) competing in a half marathon on the rowers and ski ergs. Or the option for the full marathon on the bike erg.
This year we are fundraising for Grab Life by the Balls.
Grab Life by the Balls is a men’s mental health charity with the vision to improve boy’s and men’s health and well-being through connections and mateship. They are working to turn the table on male suicide and male mental health:
- 7 men suicide everyday in Australia (of the 9 suicides per day)
- Social isolation (loneliness) is worse than obesity
- 1.1 million Aussie men have no close friends (outside of their immediate family)
- (*from Grab Life by the Balls website)
We would love your help in our efforts to make a difference for men’s mental health.
It is open to both our members and non members to enter and compete. We love meeting new people and this really is a fun event for all to participate and cheer on. Help us make this our biggest event yet, grab your mates and family and come join us for a fun morning.
