MATES Matter May Marathon

This May, Brooke, Blair, Lucy and Dustin will be tackling the Hawkes Bay Marathon!

For some seasoned endurance athletes (Blair) this will be a walk in the park, for others making their debut on the big kids track (Brooke and Dustin) the 42km may feel even longer than it is!

For many of us there is a strong link between being physically active and our mental health. As a result we would like our physical efforts to support a charity committed to improving the lives of those who require support and guidance through times in their lives when they are struggling to put one foot in front of the other.

The MATES matter NZ Charitable Trust has been set up to bring suicide awareness and intervention training to the Waikato community. While the programme is focused on preventing suicide, it can also help workplaces, communities, sports teams etc. to reduce harm and increase health and safety. The Trust has been set up by Blair's brother Craig and we are excited to be able to support all of the great work that they do.

Any donation you are comfortable making would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Brooke, Blair, Lucy and Dustin
