My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Mental health and suicide prevention

I am participating in helping raise awareness for men’s mental health and suicide prevention.

Globally, on average, 1 man dies by suicide every minute of every day.

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australian males aged between 15 and 44.

Deaths by suicide in Australia occur among males at a rate three times greater than that for females.

For every death by suicide, it is estimated that as many as 30 people attempt to end their lives.

Being in the fitness industry - for me, it’s not so much about the money donated - but this certainly helps on a national level across the year. It’s more the conversation starter, engaging with others and having an outlet to help live happier, healthier and longer lives.

Physical exercise not only helps with the obvious physical side of things but has also proven to have many mental health benefits, so we are aiming to encourage as many people to do as many workouts as possible and hit it as hard as we can.

I am participating in a team to achieve a target of 60,000 MEPs in the month of November.
A MEP is a MyZone Effort Point, these are achieved by utilising a MyZone device that monitors heart rate, calories and time exercising then converts this data into ‘MEPs‘.
The harder and longer you work out, the more MEPs you achieve. An average workout would generate anywhere from 50-150 MEPs, so it’s going to be tough work hitting our target.

If you want to help with the donation side of things, you are more than welcome to make a straight out contribution to this page by clicking on the blue ‘ Donate to Joel ‘ tab.
If you wanted to do something different, You could instead sponsor me for each MEP I earn for the month - giving me even more motivation to get to our target.

Failing that - at least have the conversation with someone... but then follow up with them.
Ask more than the ‘ are you ok? ‘ or ‘ how you doing ? ‘. Probe a little more, read the signs and reactions and actually listen.. then act.

Go for a run, hike, swim, ride or whatever with someone, take someone along to the gym with you - get moving. You’ll see how much of a difference it can make.

You are welcome to share this page, it could help others make the difference to that one person that needs it, at that particular time.
