Googzy Thorpe - 7 Marathons on 7 Continents in 7 Consecutive Days!

Googzy is a Gunnai and Gunditjmara man, he is a mental health advocate and the first Indigenous Australian to take on The Great World Race!

What is The Great world Race? It is an event that takes on 7 Marathons in 7 consecutive days across 7 Continents! That is a total of 295kms of running for the week with roughly 68 hours of flying time!

Googzy shares his story about his family, depression and how he was floating through life before he got the mental release he needed through running.

Now Googzy uses his running as a platform to show people that it's ok to ask for help and mental health issues isn't something that you should be ashamed of. 

Googzy is living proof you can struggle with mental health, but still live a happy life and do things you may never have thought were possible.

Donate to Googzy and help him on his mission to run The Great World Race and breakdown the stigma of mental health in men.
