Story

Owen & Cassidy's 40/120 Challenge:

Me and my baby daughter Cassidy are running 120km in 40 days to raise awareness of the numbers of people who take their own life around the world - currently one person every 40 seconds which is 120 lives lost during an 80 minute game of rugby league. It also equates to 82 people taking their life in the time it takes me to push Cassidy around a single 10km run.

The State of Mind Sport 40/120 Challenge:

The point of the 40/120 challenge is to highlight the numbers of people every year who take their own life around the world. In 2020, 800,000 people around the world who take their own life and this means one person every 40 seconds takes their own life. State of Minds roots are based in rugby league and union and during any game of rugby there will be 120 people around the world who take their own life.That is why the 40 (40 seconds) 120 (people taking their own life during every 80 minute rugby game) challenge is being attempted.

 There are a number of ways you can attempt this challenge to suit your own limits to raise money for State of Mind Sport - you could walk / run / cycle 120 miles or kms in 40 hours / days or weeks. You can mix and match as many variations of 40/120 to suit your own needs.
