Support shaving my mullet to help prevent suicide

Business Cut for Men’s Mental Health

Recently a public attack on social media didn’t just hurt me—it affected my family, my wellbeing, and my mental health. The weight of online bullying and defamation is real, and I’ve had to reach out for professional help to process what’s happened.


But I know I’m not alone. Too many people suffer in silence when they’re struggling, and too many don’t know where to turn when the weight gets too heavy. That’s why I’m taking action.


For the past 12 months, I’ve been growing my mullet—but now it’s time for it to go. Instead of growing a mullet for mental health this April, I’ll be shaving mine off to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute, supporting men’s mental health and breaking down the barriers that stop people from getting help.

Mental health struggles can hit anyone, anywhere, at any time. And if the past day has taught me anything, it’s that we need to do better—to stand up against online bullying, to check in on each other, and to make sure help is there when it’s needed most.


So stay tuned—soon I’ll share the date, time, and venue where you can come along to Boothy’s Business Cut, donate to a great cause, and help us crack open the conversation around men’s mental health.


Let’s turn something negative into something powerful. Let’s raise awareness, raise funds, and raise a glass to the importance of speaking up.

So many of our swimming families have been impacted by mental health, including those of our staff. It doesn't discriminate, and it's leaves wounds that can run deep. Mental health challenges affect us all, regardless of age, background, or circumstance. They touch the heart of our community, reminding us that vulnerability is not a weakness—it’s a shared human experience. We see these struggles not only in the quiet moments of personal battles but also in everyday interactions that remind us not only of our hurdles, but of our empathy, resilience and strength. And we couldn't think of a better cause to support to get that caterpillar off your head! Jokes! Thank you always supporting our wider community Boothy.
