MAYEIGHT!!
On May 8, 2016 we created a day for men's mental health. 75% of suicides in Australia are men– partly because statistics show that over 50% of men have no close friends. To combat this we were asked to bring men together on (at least) one day of the year. May 8 or MAYEIGHT!! became the date to catch up with a mate.
MAYEIGHT!! 2018
We’re all guilty of making plans with a mate that never end up happening. We make plans to meet up “sometime soon” or we talk about how we “should” catch up. These plans are vague and end up meaning we don’t catch up with mates at all. It’s all talk and no action. Let’s move people to action on May 8.
