This year the Pichi Richi Marathon and The Flinders Ranges Council are standing side by side our major sponsor Mindfull Aus. On the back of a phenomenal fundraising feat by 2024 Pichi Richi Ambassador Daniel Kwaterski where he raised over $20,000 for Mindfull Aus, they are here to give back to our community raising much needed awareness towards mind and behavioural health challenges. Mindfull Aus’ purpose is to encourage those in high risk areas of Australia to put wellness back into their own hands. Their success derives from equipping those individuals with skills, strategies and techniques to ensure that they not only get-by and cope, but learn to live and lead healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.

The upcoming event at Quorn Town Hall will be an opportunity for us all to come together and be the start of an everlasting change in proactively prioritising and supporting oneself and also those who may experience mind and behavioural health challenges. Mindfull Aus CEO Matt Runnalls will be the guest speaker for the evening.

Mindfull Aus CEO Matt Runnalls is an international speaker, advocate, author, and dedicated mental health advocate on a mission to foster awareness, acceptance, education, and connection within communities to combat the global stigma surrounding behavioural health and suicide. An interactive and engaging session - a sharing of experiences and strategies for turning “meaning into magic,” even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Key takeaways will be:

· Insight into a life of grief, mental illness, and homelessness and coming out the other side to thrive and excel.

· Approaches for having challenging conversations in ways that grow respect and trust.

· Strategies for dancing along our own continuum with 1440 minutes in a day.

· Fundamentals of the human condition and how we can show up in the world in all of our magic.
