Massive congratulations to Kane Henderson and the team for conquering the industry's most grueling 24-hour shearing challenge! 🎉
From a young age, Kane endured immense grief after the loss of his two brothers, and later, his own son. This overwhelming sorrow led him to turn to drugs, causing him to lose everything, including his partner and three beautiful children, plus the opportunity to have his own shearing run.
Kane said, "Over the years, I received help from psychologists, but the real turnaround came when I was at my lowest. I will be forever grateful to my sister for taking me in, and to a mate and my stepfather who helped support me through the toughest times of recovery."
"Over the past three years, I've gradually been getting my life back on track and it's a dream come true to conquer the 24 hour Shearathon."
"I implore anyone struggling with grief to reach out to family, friends, or the shaka project. who want to help ignite the conversation about men's mental health, help break the stigma around speaking up, and encourage connection, Mateship, and Brotherhood.
"It's ALL GOOD BRO—please talk to someone."
