Channel Nine’s Today Show will visit Shepparton this Monday 18 April as part of the Mateship Miles roadshow, taking action to engage, educate and empower Australians on their mental and physical fitness.
Hosted by Karl Stefanovic and media personality and Gotcha4Life Founder Gus Worland, Mateship Miles will travel for the week from Victoria to New South Wales via Shepparton, Wagga Wagga, Canberra, Nowra and Wollongong to meet local communities, while Karl also hosts the popular breakfast show from the road.
Gotcha4Life is Australia’s leading mental fitness not-for-profit foundation, to launch the Mateship Miles – a week-long roadshow to kick-start conversations about the importance of building mental fitness, meaningful mateship and social and emotional connection, and good health in communities.
Following years of turmoil that has seen fires, floods and COVID-19 leave much of Australia on its knees, there has never been a more vital time to explore the importance of mental fitness.
Locals are encouraged to join Gus, the Today Show crew, and special guests for a free breakfast barbecue kicking off in Monash Park, Shepparton at 8am. During this time, Gus will share key insights into Gotcha4Life and support available in the community through its mental fitness programs, as well as tips to start conversations with loved ones.
Date: Monday, 18 April, 2022
Time: 5:30am - 9:00am, Today Show broadcast, 8:00am - 9:45am FREE breakfast BBQ
Location: Monash Park, Shepparton
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said she was excited to welcome the Today Show to Shepparton.
“We are very excited to be part of the Mateship Miles tour in hosting Karl and Gus at Monash Park and are pleased that Shepparton can take part in raising awareness of mental health,” she said.
Members of the public can visit gotcha4life to find out more about the not-for-profit foundation, the mental fitness programs they deliver across Australia, or mateshipmiles to donate to the campaign.
