IMPACT to IGNITE: Brooke's Challenge for Mental Health

In a remarkable display of strength and determination, Brooke McIntosh is set to embark on a transformative journey from Pilbara to Perth, covering a distance of 1600 kilometres over the span of nearly a month. This incredible feat is not just a physical challenge, but a profound mission to raise awareness and support for mental health, powered by her personal story of triumph over adversity.

The journey, spanning a great distance, is symbolic of Brooke's own journey through the depths of her internal struggles. For years, running has been her solace, her escape from the shadows that loomed over her. However, it was only when she mustered the courage to confront her inner demons and seek professional help that Brooke truly began to perceive the world's beauty.

Her mission is twofold: to make a lasting impact by igniting conversations around mental health and encouraging those in need to seek the help they deserve.

Brooke's journey is backed by a strong sense of purpose, as she supports two important charities - 20talk and Blue Tree Project. She is resolutely dedicated to extending her support to the younger generation of Australians, as well as those working within the Construction and Mining Industry. These sectors often grapple with unique challenges that can take a toll on mental well-being.

The journey kicks off with a fundraising event at PRIMAL MMA in Karratha on August 18th. Supporters and well-wishers are invited to join Brooke as she sets out on her run from Dampier's Blue Tree on August 20th. The journey's culmination is set to be a celebration at City Beach's Blue Tree on September 16th at 5pm.

Brooke's social media presence is expected to provide real-time updates on her journey. Her fundraising page also tracks how many people have donated to her cause as well as the amount donated, which now is more than $42,000 donated to this important cause. 

Businesses and companies keen on contributing can explore the Company Sponsor Packs by reaching out via email at hello@kindnessconnects.com.au. The message is clear: Every contribution, no matter how small, plays a pivotal role in fostering a more empathetic and supportive society.

As Brooke takes each step towards Perth, she carries with her the hopes of countless individuals who have experienced the shadows of mental health challenges. Her journey from IMPACT to IGNITE serves as a beacon of hope, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a call to action for a more compassionate world.
