We are sharing this very important Beyond Blue fundraiser which is occuring next Monday 22nd Dec in Kerang, to raise funds and awareness for mental health.

Exercise and mental health go hand in hand, so when we heard of this great event, we said, WE ARE IN!

For those interested in taking part or if you would like to donate, click this link with details of the event on the page. It has been catered to include a run/walk for everyone!

There are a few of us members who plan on attending and taking part in a range of the distances, including the 10km run, half marathon and full.

Feel free to post what you plan on participating in, as they may be others who would like to join 😃

Improve your physical and mental health while raising funds for Beyond Blue.

🌸 What a refreshing change! 🌸

This week I was privileged to provide a self-care mindfulness session with the amazing women from Gannawarra Health and Gannawarra Shire Council. 💛

A huge thanks to Cynthia Mahoney for guiding us through “Take a Wellbeing Vacation”—which I was fortunate to join in with, such an energising and inspiring experience! 🌿✨

Hearing women’s stories of resilience and strength is so empowering… and it’s sparked fresh inspiration to plan more Wellness Retreats (which many of you have been asking about 😉).

💫 Watch this space for exciting updates!

The Matuch family strike again! 💚⛰️

A total of 106km clocked up this weekend at the Wonderland Trail Run, Halls Gap — with the kids smashing their 2km and us tackling the brutal 51km. 🏃‍♀️🏃

This was hands down the toughest event we’ve ever done — 2000m elevation, giant boulders, endless rocks, plus storm damage, snow-melt, mud, and debris everywhere. 🌲💦❄️ It was chaos… but also magic. ✨

The kids had a ball, loved every minute, and just wanted to run again (after ice cream 🍦). Watching them share our love of running was the best moment of all.

💥 Results we’re proud of:

Ash: 19th overall & 3rd in age category

Me: 2nd in age category (just over 9 hours), which I couldn't have done without my persistent coach, DTA Running (aka, chook) backing me every step of the way!!

Sore? Yep. Worth it? 1000%. 🙌💪

Until the next challenge… 🫶

A left field comment (probably after making a farting joke) from my 6 year old this morning on the way to school:
'Mum, how adults talk to kids, is how kids talk to others and how they will talk to their kids when they grow up, and it goes on and on...'.
Me: 'That is very clever, how do you know that?'
Answer: 'I just thought of it'.
SIMPLY SAID AND SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
