Sunday Sippers 4 X 4 X 48

By John Veloudos Join Me

James Butz and John Veloudos host a Canberra podcast called Sunday Sippers. We have decided that one of the things we want to do this year is to challenge ourselves both physically and mentally, in name of a good cause. 

We would love to raise money and awareness for lifeline and suicide prevention. As most Australian's know, suicide has a devastating impact on families, friends and whole communities. Upon research and realisation, we were horrified at some of the statistics from the black dog institute of:

- Over 65,000 Australians make a suicide attempt 
- More than 3,000 Australians died by suicide in 2017
- Young Australians are more likely to take their own life than die in motor vehicle accidents

We believe that it is imperative that everyone is educated about suicide prevention - as barriers to suicide include effective methods of prevention. Hopefully by our efforts we can help raise awareness about suicide prevention to help both educate and advocate this great cause.  

James and John will be under taking the 4 x 4 x 48 challenge. Which is that they run 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) every 4 hours, for 48 hours straight. The challenge has been touted to be one of the most taxing on the mind and body. Lack of sleep and the amount of ground to cover in a short amount of time are two components that lead most people to fail the challenge. 

The boys will be completing this from the 11th of March 6:00pm (Friday) - 13th of March (Sunday). This is the Canberra long weekend and will be hoping for people to come down and support!
