Proudly Supporting Delaney’s 21 Runs: Raising Awareness for Men’s Mental Health in Ballarat

Delaney has officially completed her 21 half-marathons in 21 days, and what an incredible journey it’s been!

Ballarat has one of the highest male suicide rates in Victoria, with men taking their own lives at a rate eight times higher than women. This is higher than nearby regions like Bendigo and Geelong, and almost twice that of Melbourne. It's a tragic reality that affects our community deeply. We feel it's more important than ever to stand up and show support for men's mental health in regional areas like Ballarat.

As a proud sponsor of Delaney’s 21 Runs, we are honoured to have played a small part in raising awareness and funding for this cause that hits close to home. We’ve seen the power of the Ballarat community coming together, and it was truly inspiring to be part of such a meaningful event. Not only did Delaney complete this monumental challenge, but she also reached her fundraising goal of $210,000 for men’s mental health! 👏

We believe in the power of support and open conversations, especially in regional communities like ours. Let’s keep pushing for positive change, break the stigma, and show up for the men in our lives who need it most. 💙
