Hey all,

I want to share something close to my heart with all of you. Over the past five years, my family and I have experienced the devastating loss of two beloved family members taking their own lives.

In light of these painful experiences, I feel a strong urge to make a positive impact and support others who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide. That's why I've decided to take on a meaningful challenge – running the Melbourne marathon – and use it as an opportunity to raise funds for the ALIVE project.

The ALIVE project holds immense significance as it is a community-oriented organization that collaborates with schools, sports clubs, and community groups to address suicide prevention and provide much-needed support for at-risk youth. Their innovative online and in-house training resources not only tackle mental health crises and suicide prevention but also promote the overall well-being of young people.

By supporting the ALIVE project, we can collectively work towards a brighter future for all young individuals, making a real difference in their lives. No matter the amount, any contribution would be incredibly appreciated.

I'd like to express my gratitude to the big dog @Nash Kemp for helping me prepare for this marathon, my amazing partner Bree and friends Harry and Caity who will be running the marathon as well and to all of you who consider donating.

Thank you❤️
