For the 2022 Thunderbolt Run Vas has chosen to bring awareness to mental health, by supporting Beyond Blue.
"Mental health conditions have always been very close to Vasās heart since losing a very dear and close friend to depression.
The hardest part for Vas was wishing he could have done more and why didnāt he see the signs. He struggled to deal with the guilt of not knowing more about this horrible, silent illness.
This is when Vas decided to educate himself on the signs of mental health conditions and to help everyone he came across from that moment on. Vas opened 14 clinics across Australia and employed Exercise Physiologists to assist him in looking after 240 plus Returned Ex-Service Men and Women with issues ranging from knee reconstructions, shoulder injuries, general well being, fitness as well as those suffering from anxiety and depression (PTSD).
After reading an article in The Guardian, Vas was horrified to learn that due to COVID 19 one in five Australians report high levels of psychological distress and helplessness. It was then that Vas decided enough was enough and it was time to try and make a difference in other peopleās lives even further - this was why The Thunderbolt Run was born.
Vas has chosen Beyond Blue as The Thunderbolt Runās 2022 chosen charity and will donate $1000.00 for each participating vehicle to this great charity."
