In 2017, our CEO and Founder Leon Ruri had an idea that would blossom into the first-ever ANZAC Day Haka For Life.
Over 200 men and women gathered to honour the ANZAC’s and bring awareness to men’s mind health issues by performing the Haka after the Dawn Service in Kings Park, Perth. It was such an extraordinarily powerful experience, the support we received was overwhelming and Haka for Life was born.
