Everyone is welcome
For more than 10 years, a bunch of guys have been meeting at a park in Mooloolaba to exercise.
Along the way, we became friends.
Some of us became fathers. Many of our kids, including my son, were born during this journey and grew up around this community. We’ve celebrated wins together, carried each other through hard times, and even said goodbye to a friend we lost to cancer, who still live among us in each and every rep we do.
But we’ve never lost a mate to suicide.
Maybe that’s luck. Maybe it’s something more.
In our group, men are allowed to be human. We train together, joke together, laugh at our own disasters, talk nonsense, and sometimes talk about things that matter. We support each other in different ways, but we always show up.
This month we’re taking part in The Push-Up Challenge to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention, a cause that touches far too many families and remains one of the biggest issues affecting men’s health.
We’ll be doing what we love: moving our bodies, spending time together, and hopefully making a small difference.
If you’re going through a difficult time, know that you’re not alone.
And if you’re ever visiting the Sunshine Coast, come join us for a session. You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need to know anyone. Just show up.
Sometimes a workout becomes a friendship.
Sometimes a friendship changes a life.
