Get involved with The Long Lap – the latest MATES in Construction fundraiser.

MATES in Construction is proud to announce its first month-long fundraising campaign - the MATES Long Lap, taking place this April. 
 
“Together, we will raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention across the construction industry... and reap the benefits of physical activity on our mental wellbeing,” say organisers. 
 
“We have an ambitious goal - to collectively cover the length of New Zealand's Te Araroa Trail (3000km) five times to acknowledge the life our industry loses to suicide every five days. This goal is more than a number; it's a powerful reminder of why will #MOVEforourMATES - to save lives and ignite hope.” 
 
Registration for the Long Lap costs $40 per person and includes some sought after merch.  
All proceeds will go to MATES in Construction, helping to put more boots on the ground, support workers and improve mental health in our industry.
