Client Shoutout !!
Today we are shouting out to Jake Cohen. Jake came to us over a year ago as he prepared for his first half marathon, got some great advice and exercise plan from Luke/ myo sessions with Eb and G and off he went. Fast forward to today this legend is about to run 160kms for his mate. We wanted to tell you about some of the details of the event as it's for such a good cause.
Pat is a proud Bendigo local, husband, dad, son, brother, mate, and— and he’s facing the fight of his life.
Pat lives with his wife Chelsea, and their two beautiful kids Imogen and Jye.
In 2023 Pat was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) — a progressive, incurable disease that slowly takes away a person’s ability to move, speak, swallow and breathe… all whilst their mind stays strong and aware.
For Pat, MND means learning to live with constant change. For Chelsea, Imogen and Jye, it means walking beside someone they love while the road gets harder.
Every dollar donated will help provide Pat with:
• increasing care needs including specialised equipment
• family holidays and experiences, creating everlasting memories
• home changes to stay safe and independent
• financial pressure
Standing alongside Pat are Jake and Sammy, who are best mates that have committed to 160 kilometres nonstop in support of this fundraiser. They know it will be tough but while Jake and Sammy can choose to stop at any moment…Pat can’t.
Every kilometre is a message to Pat and his family:
✅ You are not alone.
✅ We are with you.
✅ We will keep going.
