We are deeply honored to share this official Parliament of New South Wales recognition letter from Ms Karen McKeown OAM, Member for Penrith! 📜✨
Karen recently formally commended SOLiD MEN in the NSW Parliament for the massive success of our recent Check 6 Challenge at Regatta Park in Emu Plains.
Here are a few highlights noted in Parliament from the day:
Record Turnout: 75 incredible participants came together to walk, run, and ride!
Distance Covered: Together, our community covered over 1,000 kilometers across the 6-hour event.
Ultra Efforts: 8 legends completed all 6 running laps on the hour!
Community Impact: Thanks to your generosity, we raised $6,000 to fund our ongoing programs supporting men’s physical and mental health and wellbeing across Penrith and NSW.
Thank you to Ms Karen McKeown OAM for taking our story to the NSW Parliament, and a huge thank you to every participant, donor, family member, and local resident who made the Check 6 Challenge such a powerful demonstration of community spirit.
While the recognition is greatly appreciated the true wins come from the mens lives we are impacting. And we continue to pray and believe that we will see many more men get connected and equip themselves as fantastic leaders in the community💪🏼💙
