We love this message from ifarmwell.com.au💚

👟 Staying active and connected can make a real difference to our mental wellbeing. Why not take this weekend as a chance to check in with a mate and get moving together?

Or join a local Saturday Park Run in Port Pirie, Clare, Port Broughton or Jamestown?

https://www.parkrun.com.au/

Did you know that exercise is one of the simplest, safest and most effective ways to improve your mood, and that it can even prevent depression from coming back, if you have experienced it in the past?

This weekend, why not try to organise a 30-minute walk with a mate? It will be good for both of you! If your mate is a human (rather than a dog!) tag them on this post right now, to get the ball rolling.
