I’m proud to say I participated in the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation Sons Of The West program.
A 10 week program of physical, mental, and community activities.
It was a blast!
Great to connect with people in the community and also focus on the self - with the emphasis on men’s health.
Great activity, great banter and great competition.
Guys. Do it. For you, your health and your family.
And for all the fun you will have.
Club champion? Football signed by the Western Bulldogs squad?
Don’t mind if I do!
