Running the Melbourne Marathon for Puka Up
Donation protected
We (Jack & Richard) are running the 2020 Melbourne Marathon and hoping to raise awareness and funds for PukaUp.
PukaUp is a social enterprise founded by one of Australia’s leading mental health advocates, Wayne Schwass.
Mental health is such an important aspect of health, especially in a year full of so much anxiety, stress and disappointment. For us we've found running as a great outlet to take a break, have a chat and also gain some fitness.
We've decided to tackle our first ever marathon (42km) in the Melbourne Marathon on October 4th and we are hoping while we train for our physcial challenge we can raise some funds and awareness for the important work that Wayne and the PukaUp team are doing.
Remember its always okay to speak about anything you're struggling with and so important to take care of all aspects of your health: physical, mental and social.
