For the month of November, I’m committing to an hour of exercise every day with a different member of my community — using that time to check in, talk, and share the load. It’s about movement, connection, and conversation. This idea came from personal experience. I’ve lost multiple people in my life to suicide — including my mum when I was seven, and my best mate Tristan in 2018. Tristan and I were housemates and close friends back in Adelaide. After I moved interstate to chase work after uni, we drifted a little. One night, not long after, we were out celebrating my graduation — laughing, telling stories, and catching up late into the morning. I didn’t know he was struggling. When I said goodbye the next day, he was crying. I gave him a hug and told him I’d call. That was the last time I saw him. Every hour, around 60 men around the world die by suicide. That number represents sons, brothers, fathers, mates — people like Tristan — and it’s one of the reasons that Movember exists.
