I'm fundraising for MATES in Construction

I’m excited to take on the MATES Long Lap 2025 challenge this April, combining both physical effort and fundraising for an important cause.

Mental health isn’t like a physical injury—there isnt always visible signs that someone is struggling. And just like a physical injury, we often try to push through, ignoring the strain until it becomes too much. That’s why I have so much respect for MATES, who show up and create a space for men and women in construction to recognise and talk about the pressures they face every day.

My own mental health journey hasn’t always been straightforward. I’ve reached out for help when I needed it, learning techniques to navigate tough times. 

I’m looking forward to pushing myself and sharing this experience with my colleagues, showing just how powerful it is when we come together for a great cause. 

I’ll do my best to share updates along the way, and hopefully, we can raise some much-needed funds to support MATES and the incredible work they do. If you’re able to donate, even a small amount can make a real difference in helping MATES continue their vital support in our industry.

Thank you!
