I’m excited to share that throughout April I’ll be taking part in the MATES Long Lap 2026 💛 — a challenge that’s all about getting moving, starting conversations, and raising funds for mental health and suicide prevention in our industry.

“You are not alone” is something I truly believe in when it comes to mental health, which is why this isn’t something I’m doing on my own.

At MAP Projects, we strongly support MATES and the work they do. The Long Lap is important not just for the construction community, but for everyone’s wellbeing — looking out for our mates, checking in, and having the conversations that matter.

I’ll be sharing regular updates throughout the month as the kilometres add up. If you’re able to donate, every contribution — no matter how small — makes a real difference and helps MATES continue their vital work across Aotearoa.

Thanks for the encouragement and support, and for backing MATES alongside us 💪
Stronger together.
