Top Blokes Foundation

But it's also given me the platform to bring together crazy ideas like the 58 Marathons, which has now gone on to be a number one best-selling book, and there's a documentary over something that I was inspired to do, and we raised $160,000 plus for mental health.

It's also the reason why I'm running across Australia, because I, as a newfound father, I w- still want the challenge, right? I want to see if I can do 100-plus kilometers a day for 40 days while I tackle the country, but tell stories and raise funds for Top Blokes Foundation, which is doing great work and putting young men through workshops, like six-month workshops, to help them become a top bloke, right? I think it's so important in society now with all the spotlight in the current media around domestic violence, around youth male suicide, I think it's so important to bring light to that, and I want to be a positive stamp in society on helping doing that, because I don't have all the school, skills and all the answers.

But I know that there are incredible people doing incredible things, and that's where we're at with that.

So it has really helped me use a platform that I've got to raise funds, and this next one, we're looking to raise half a million dollars, which is gonna be awesome.

Right.

He, he was driving past 'cause I was doing the walk with Foz for that, uh, the Top Blokes Foundation.

Mate, Frewie's given you a shout-out too.

Well done on that too, by the way.

Yeah, thanks, mate.

Um, thanks for the nomination.

Uh, yeah, uh, so, uh, uh, Kieran Foran has been working very closely, uh, with the Top Blokes Foundation.

Uh, ha- some- someone really close to him, uh, had gone through a situation with mental health.

Antsy will be here.

I want to thank everyone who helped donate for the Top Blokes Foundation.

It was a great cause.

I got to get around Foz.

I know this means a lot to you.

Uh, the Top Blokes Foundation, a fifty-kilometer walk.

Tell us a little bit about, uh, this event and, uh, and why it's so important to you, mate.

Yeah, well, I, I, I was-- I had my head in the desk about 12 weeks ago and, and my brother-in-law, um, Karina's brother, Dr. Justin Coulson, called me and he said, uh, he said, "Foz, I've got an idea." And I said, "What's that, mate?" He said, uh, "Why don't we walk fifty kilometers with the ten-kilo weight vest on for the Top Blokes Foundation Lift The Load Challenge and raise-- see if we can raise a hundred thousand?" And, you know, I, uh, I agreed to it and then, uh, eight weeks on I started trying to prepare for this walk and I, I tell you what, I, I don't think my body's made for it.

After, after seventeen seasons in the NRL and, uh, over eighteen surgeries, I don't know how I'm gonna go.

But no, all in all, it, it is a great cause.
