Run Around Australia: WEEK 14

6,000KM Down — and the Run Gets Realer by the Day 💥

Brooke McIntosh has clocked over 6,000km on foot. She’s almost halfway around Australia… with no finish line energy, no fluff — just purpose and a pounding heart. This week? It was pure chaos, gold, grit, and “how the hell are we still doing this?” moments.

Matt brings the Rain, Dan brings the Coffee, Brooke brings the Run 🌧☕👣 It’s official: every time Matt visits, it rains. “Thanks for the rain, Matt doesn’t look very happy.” “Dan brings coffee. Brooke runs.” Everyone’s got a role in this mission — and Matt’s unofficial title? Rainmaker. Dan? The coffee guy. Brooke? The one keeping the whole thing moving.

Dan’s 80KM Day (Well, Close Enough) — and the Trap He Walked Into 😅 A month ago, Dan casually said: “I’ll do 80ks with you in my last week.” Brooke reminded him every single day since. And when the time came… “Don’t do it. It’s a trap!” — Dan, full regret but zero way out. He ran solid.

The Generator Got Stolen… Then the Power Came Back 🔌 Brooke’s generator — the one powering her ice baths, aircon, and fridge — got stolen. That could’ve stopped everything. Instead, it sparked something powerful. A post went out asking the community to share and help recover it. Then came a twist: During an interview on the Kyle & Jackie O Show, they dropped this: Honda Power Equipment had stepped in behind the scenes. They gifted Brooke a brand new generator. The team picked it up from Hinterland Mowers Nerang and were blown away by the support. “One more call, one more moment, one more action — that’s what keeps the mission moving.” That’s Just One More in action.

He suffered. He sweat out four weeks of bad food. He demanded a croissant. And around the 50km mark — Suz picked him up, and Brooke just kept running. No shortcuts. No shame. Just raw effort and a whole lot of respect.

Coastal Views Incoming 🌊 After one more day on the M1, it’s coastal time. Gold Coast, Tweed, Burleigh — wide skies, ocean air, and fresh energy. Brooke’s still moving, still saying yes to Just One More.

Tweed, Burleigh & a Full-Circle Moment with TAW Collective 💙 Watch the reel → Meet & greet at The Dream Haus Same day, same feels — Brooke got to meet the TAW Collective team in person. They’ve been backing her since day one. And this wasn’t just a gear drop — it was a moment. “She sold her house and business to fund this run. She donates every dollar raised to mental health. And she does it all with heart.” Brooke left fully kitted out, hugged up, and fuelled for the next town. “If OnlyFans creators can go viral using their bodies for money… Why can’t Brooke go viral for using hers to save lives?” Fair point. Let’s make it happen.

Real Ones Show Up: Anna, Lenny, Syreeta, The Kids 🙌 Anna Rose ran 17km with Brooke — a total force for women doing hard things. Lenny, Syreeta & the kids came in strong for the next 10km. Then it was 20+ more kilometres solo for Brooke. It wasn’t just a big day — it was a reminder of what together actually means.

Robin, Kip, Corey… and a Run Through Brizzy 🎙👟 Brooke swung by KIIS FM to chat with Robin, Kip, and Corey — then bolted to LSKD HQ for hugs and hype before hitting the road again. Except this time, she forgot her vest and watch. “No one’s going to know my pace. No one’s going to know my distance. Just keep running.” She ended up doing around 63km, made it through Brisbane, and… “Didn’t get lost. Didn’t get anxiety. It was great.”

The Trio’s Last Hurrah 💙 This week marked the last hurrah for the trio, Brooke, Suz, and Dan. Each brought energy, chaos, depth, and heart to the run. The crew may change, but the mission stays the same. One foot in front of the other. Always. Now it’s time for the next crew to step in. The mission doesn’t stop, not for rain, sore feet, or goodbyes.

Now for the Real Ask: We Need You As the end of the financial year approaches, here’s something bold, life-changing — and time-sensitive: Brooke is running over 14,000km around Australia. Every kilometre is fuelled by a bigger mission: Just one more conversation. Just one more moment of courage. Just one more life saved from silence.

She’s not just running — she’s shifting culture. 💙 Every donation is tax-deductible 💙 Every dollar goes to mental health 💙 Every sponsor gets the chance to be part of something that actually matters

This isn’t about ROI. It’s about impact. It’s about choosing to lead with heart.

So if you’re ready to sponsor something that’s rewriting the national conversation on mental health…

👉 Let’s partner

👉 Let’s create Just One More moment that changes everything.

👉 Let’s raise $1.4 million to fund real help for real people.

Because mental health doesn’t wait. And neither will we.
