Hunter's Challenge
50km's everyday for 30 days
This November, Hunter is running 50 kilometres every day for 30 days at the Bay Run in Rozelle, Sydney.
He is running to share his dream of a world that is mentally fit. A world where the conversation shifts from simply being aware of mental health problems to building the skills that support us every day. If you have a brain, you have mental health, which means you can build your mental fitness.
Hunter’s challenge is a commitment to this belief. Mental Fitness Month is the collective step toward making mental fitness the norm and creating a future where people have the skills to thrive, overcome challenges, adapt to change and connect with others.
7 laps for 7 skills.
