G'day, and welcome to BROAB.
In October 2027, I am taking on the Moab 240. It is a grueling, non-stop, 240-mile footrace through some of the most unforgiving desert and mountain terrain in Utah.
Here is the kicker: This will be my first ever running race. Am I crazy? Maybe a little. I’ve trained my whole life and played sports forever, but jumping straight into one of the world's toughest ultramarathons is a massive leap. I’m taking on this extreme physical challenge to shine a spotlight on an even tougher battle, one that takes far too many lives in the dark.
The Silent Epidemic
Right now, globally, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day. Men account for roughly 75% of all suicides.
Let that sink in. It’s a staggering, unacceptable reality. For generations, we’ve been taught to tough it out, suffer in silence, and isolate ourselves when things get heavy. We lack the resources, the open conversations, and the community to help guys step up, get better, and feel like they have a team in their corner.
That is why I created Broab, a mix of our "Bros" and "Moab." It’s about building a brotherhood around the hardest challenges we face, both physical and mental.
The core message of Broab is simple: We are far more capable than we realize. When we embrace the work, chase the challenges, and put our minds to something, we can push ourselves to entirely new heights.
The Goal: $240,000 for 240 Miles
My goal is to raise $240,000, that’s $1,000 for every grueling mile of the Moab 240.
Every single dollar raised here will go directly to Movember, between their initiatives in Australia and the USA. Movember is doing incredible, boots-on-the-ground work to fund mental health early intervention programs, build social connections for men, and stop guys from dying too young. They know that having a community and a mate to talk to actually saves lives.
The Connection: Body and Mind
Through this 17-month journey, which I’m documenting week by week on my YouTube channel, I want to prove how intertwined our physical and mental health truly are:
Movement is Medicine: Daily exercise builds resilience, momentum, and mental armor.
Fuel for the Fire: Optimizing nutrition doesn't just change your body; it clears the fog in your head.
Community is Everything: Whether it's out on the trails or racing mates on the sim rig, having a crew around you is vital.
How You Can Help
Donate: Chip in whatever you can. Whether it's $5 or $500, you are directly funding resources that save men's lives.
Share: Send this page to your mates, your family, or anyone who needs to hear this message.
Join the Journey: Follow the training, the suffering, and the laughs over on my YouTube channel (Broab) as we build this community together.
It’s time to embrace the work and look after our mates. Let's get it done.
