Dave & Al get behind Ben Hirst as he raises money for a great cause with his Run for Mental Health #LapsForLads

"Every daily thing became as hard as climbing a mountain and it was hard to think about a future with me in it.”Coming into connection with Ben through the Find Your Feet store, I was really inspired by his genuine honesty, kindness and willingness to share his struggles with mental illnesses. He harnessed those experiences to help others. It became apparent to me that he had a story that needed to be shared.Ben Hirst is an incredibly passionate trail and ultra runner, father, husband, Speak Up Stay Chatty! Ambassador. He is the founder of ‘Run for Mental Health’ a grassroots initiative that meets weekly on Mt Wellington for a social run.This podcast is a raw conversation about the real struggles of substance dependency and the devastating effects it can have on our lives. It can make us feel incredibly alone and hopeless, but in this conversation we are able to recognise the importance of standing up in the midst of your own struggles, in actually helping yourself by helping others; even when you do not have the answers yet yourself.  There is a healing power in saying and hearing the words “me too.” I know this from my own experience through opening the retail store ‘Find Your Feet’ during a time that I myself, was trying to find my feet.This podcast delves into:The misunderstood prevalence of mental illnesses in our communitiesReaching out to social support networks for helpThe mental health benefits of running/physical activityAccepting ourselves when we do not have all the answers Find Your Feet is also proud to have supported Ben on his first UTA journey as well as his road running challenge across the length of Tasmania. Both of which were endeavours of his to promote the importance of speaking up about struggling with mental illnesses. We are so inspired by Ben’s social media accounts.
