My Challenge for a Bloke
On December 7th, I’m racing in my first Half Ironman triathlon in Busselton, WA. This involves a 1.9km ocean swim, followed by a 90km cycle, then finishing with a 21.1km run. I wanted it to mean something more than just a race, so I’ve decided to raise money for men’s mental health charity, Spoke to a Bloke. I’ve felt and seen the impacts that poor mental health can have on men and the people around them, and how important it is to speak about these issues. Spoke to a Bloke does an awesome job at supporting men and creating spaces for conversation and awareness, and I want to do my bit in helping the wider community. Any donations are appreciated, large or small!My Achievements

We are a charity focused on supporting blokes mental health. We do this through running a series of community based events, including Walk for a Bloke and Challenge for a Bloke.
Funds raised via these events are being used to fund two core Spoke to a Bloke Projects;
M.I.N.D.S – The MEN IN NEED OF DIGITAL SUPPORT project is an initiative to bring together a wide range of mental health experts, knowledgeable individuals and everyday blokes to create 24/7 help content aimed at supporting adult and younger men.
121 – The 121 project will deliver direct professional help for blokes that need financial assistance and reach those that need it most.
In addition to our projects, our events also serve as medicine. We enable blokes to be active, to connect, to share, to listen, to learn and to share in events to help build resilience through action.
We are so proud of you Matt!
