A reminder to live everyday like its your last
In June 2022 the world was made a much quieter place when Jackson lost his life, through no fault of his own, in a vehicle accident where he was the a passenger in the back of the car. Jack was not only an advocate for mental health, we know he saved many young men and women who were having challenges and sort him out for help. Those young men and women are still here today because of the time, kindness and genuine care shown by Jack.
At the time of his death he was doing the push up challenge in memory of a mate. He never got to finish the challenge so every year we will run the Jack Rabbit team for anyone who wishes to join be it friend of Jacks, friends of the family and parents of Jacks friends to finish what he never did.
Your time here is short, leave no regrets and go and live everyday like its your last, just like he did. He stopped to look and smell flowers blooming ( literally!), he loved being around nature and the ocean and most importantly he loved being around his mates. They were his lifeblood.
Jack left a legacy for those that he knew personally and that was his Spotify list. He added every song he like or shared with a memory someone right from year 6 through until his death. Pop on some of his tunes, remember a great guy and hit the pushups, squats, lunges or sit ups. And remember to live.
