Why I'm doing it
I have been part of a growing worldwide movement in health for 20 years now called Lifestyle Medicine. I work as a Professor of Lifestyle Medicine at Southern Cross University. Our aim is to teach existing clinicians and the public how to prevent and manage illness with an improved focus on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, substance abuse, and positive connections to people and the environment. The Gondwana Rainforest Challenge offers a chance to do something for our own health by improving our connection to the natural environment as well as a group of other good people who share the love of protecting our precious rainforests for future generations.
I invite you to join me on my Gondwana Rainforest Challenge as I walk the iconic Binna Burra to O’Reilly’s Rainforest walk on Saturday, September 28. Or if you can’t make it please sponsor the ASLM team so we can raise funds to help protect and restore Australian dwindling Rainforests.
To join me on this iconic rainforest adventure, signup, join the ASLM Team and select the Binna Burra to O’Reilly’s walk from the drop down list or simply sponsor the team.
