Finally, dropping this doozy as episode with the uso Albie Roebeck whom is also related to my wife! Mean as chat with the brother about all the areas of life that lifts him up - Navy, Boxing, Family.

We have a good talk about his early life and some of the challenges he faced; alcohol, ego, fighting  and how he was able to rediscover himself by discovering a passion and pursuing it.

Albie is also a beast too, a few years ago he spent 60 hrs punching a boxing bag to raise awareness about mental health, tick done and he has continued to pursue physical challenges for himself, for others and to keep his mind and spirit focused and tuned in. He will be competing a Muriwai beach run with a ruck pack...it's only 50km long!

He also has a massive heart for others and talks about the work he does with troubled young people. He unashamedly addresses his own mental demons too.

He doesn't hide who he is and he lifts many people up too. He represents the essence of the corner man that you want backing you up without hesitation - Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Peace & Love

Had a great catch up with the bro Corey Choat recently. This man has so much passion for what he does for so many people in our community. With the tragic lose of his sister in 2019, running has become a welcoming tool for him and it is also big factor in raising awareness around mental health and support, but also utilising it with his instagram page @runningforsal, to discuss being vulnerable and afraid to show your emotions. I

In 2022 on top of running daily, he completed a Speedo run up Mt Maunganui for @gumbootfriday and on the 10th December he ran for 607 minutes, 1 minute for every person lost to suicide. Emotionally and physically challenging for him, but his drive resulted in raising over $80,000 for Gumboot Friday!

2023 is upon us and Corey has more fun in store, but underpinning it is carrying on from 2022 and focus on mental health. He is creating a beautiful legacy for his sister.

Such a caring and thoughtful human, he has the wonderful support of his family and an unbreakable friendship with many. We are proud of what he does in memory of his sister Sally.

Peace & Love
