Roman getting his running shoes on for a great cause.

Roman will be running in this year’s Beyond Blue half marathon on Sunday 4 December. He’s running to raise both vital funds and awareness for mental health and support Beyond Blue’s work on combating anxiety, depression and suicide.

Roman recently lost a good friend and has a few friends going through depression, so is dedicating this run to them and thanks you for supporting a cause so important to him.
