This Big Lap, I’m raising awareness for suicide, for my best mate that I lost.

Hi! I’m Jo, and I’m taking on the MATES Big Lap 2026—running and walking my way through the challenge all April.

I’m currently a first going to second year apprentice with ElectroGroup Apprentices. I’ve loved my apprenticeship so far, and have enjoyed being able to be part of the change with the ETU Youth Crew and partaking in the Mates Induction Training.

I want to raise more awareness and make sure no one struggles in silence. I’m always looking out for those around me, on the job site or in the community. Every dollar raised helps MATES continue their life-saving work, supporting workers and their families across all worksites and industries.

I’ll be sharing updates throughout the month—every bit of support counts. Let’s run, walk, swim, and ride together for a stronger, safer industry.

In the meantime, peace, and stay safe! See ya soon!
