What is Walk for a Bloke

Previously known as Nicks Walk, Walk for a Bloke is a unique event for blokes to come together and walk 25kms to raise awareness and funds for bloke’s mental health. 

Walk for a Bloke is more than just a fundraiser – it can act as a form of medicine. By encouraging physical activity, creating opportunities for mateship, and providing a safe space for men to share, listen, and learn, we help build resilience and strengthen mental well-being through action.

Walking to support men’s mental health

Wednesday 12th Mar
I’m Walking 25km for Men’s Mental Health – Let’s Make a Difference Together!

On Saturday, 22nd March 2025, I’ll be walking 25km to support Spoke to Bloke, an incredible charity dedicated to promoting men’s mental health and raising vital funds to combat the silent battle so many blokes face.

This cause is deeply personal to me. Over the years, I’ve lost mates to suicide—good men who felt they had no other way out. The heartbreaking reality is that in Australia, six men take their own lives every single day. That’s six sons, fathers, brothers, and mates gone too soon. Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Aussie men aged 15–44, and yet, too often, blokes feel like they have to suffer in silence.

But we’re not alone. Together, we can break the stigma, start real conversations, and ensure that no man feels like he has to face his struggles alone.

I’m asking for your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a message of encouragement, every bit counts. Any amount, big or small, will help make a real difference.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support. Let’s walk together towards better mental health for all blokes.
