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.

Why we do this
Wednesday 20th Nov Good morning all,Just a quick spiel from me. Why am I doing this? Well it's simple when you add all the impacts that I have had in my life, some I could control and didn't, and others that were out of my control. From needing a pacemaker in my early 30's, to the 50+ broken bones in my body, melting all the skin off my leg and needing 2 years to recover from this and multiple trauma events, including the death of my very young niece, I learned not to rely on people, until the day I needed someone.
That point is when a mate just sat with me and listened, gave advice without being specific, and again, just listened.
From this point, I have tried to help others and developed a small support network I can call on if needed. I want others to have the same.
This walk give people the ability to meet new mates, while also sharing an experience with existing mates, learn techniques to develop new friendships and just have some fun while testing the physical and mental strength.
