9 On Day InformatIOn for Run Melbourne 2016 Ambassadors Jake Edwards I am very proud to be an ambassador for Run Melbourne and being a spokesperson for Mental Health, staying fit and healthy is an important pillar to sustaining clarity and focus in our lives, says Jake. Jake Edwards, ex AFL Player and son of football legend Allan Butch Edwards experienced many highs and lows in his sporting career and lifetime. Diagnosed with depression at the age of 19 while on an AFL list, it wasn t until his career drastically ended that things became increasingly tough for the now 28 year old. Jake spent four years escaping pain through drinking and drug use, which eventually lead him to attempted suicide. As a survivor, Jake now dedicates his time to mental health awareness and speaks frankly about his experiences, sharing his inspirational story with young adults across Australia. Jake co-founded Outside The Locker Room", an organisation dedicated to working alongside young adults at sporting clubs, offering mentoring support and education on topics such as drugs, alcohol, depression and suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis, and you are unsure which service to contact, call Lifeline on Sarah Holloway So excited to be a Run Melbourne ambassador this year. Even though running is not a strong point of mine, I am all about stepping outside of my comfort zone, especially for a good cause! says Sarah. Sarah Holloway started out as a commercial lawyer at a leading international law firm. After several years of building strong professional foundations, she found it increasingly challenging to reconcile the all-consuming corporate lifestyle with her passions for health, wellbeing, creativity and adventure. In pursuit of balance, Sarah and her partner started a creative side project 18 months ago, capitalising on a gap in the health food market for matcha green tea. This vibrant green powder is now one of the world's premier superfoods and Matcha Maiden is leading the way with a growing community of over 1,000 stockists, 70,000 social media followers and a very bright (green) future Laura Henshaw I am so excited to be an ambassador for Run Melbourne running a Half Marathon for the Make a Wish Foundation, says Laura. Laura Henshaw is a Melbourne model and co-founder of Keep it Cleaner, a health and wellness platform created to inspire others to live a healthy life and be the best and happiest versions of themselves. Her lack of coordination in team sports when she was younger lead to her love for running and she will be running the Half Marathon to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation
