Meet Greg, one of the graduates of Trek2Health.Greg has been a police officer for 33 years, which at times he found physically and mentally taxing. When he was introduced to Trek2Health, he liked their approach to health and wellbeing. He signed up for our program and it changed his life – read the rest of his story below!
How has Trek2Health helped you?Trek2Health has helped me immeasurably. This program has been like a personal life insurance program to guard against the unexpected events that life throws at you. I also liken the T2H program to a modern safety system in a motor vehicle such as anti-skid braking or air bags, it is there to protect you.
What was your favourite part of experiencing Trek2Health?My favourite parts of T2H were experiencing the beautiful outdoors of Queensland, making new friends that I will keep for life, and developing a strong support network for life’s ups and downs.
How has Trek2Health changed your daily routine?I have a renewed zest for life. I find it’s easier to exercise when I am tired or don’t feel like it because my resilience is tenfold on where it was a couple of years ago.
What were the main benefits of the Trek2Health program?The benefits for me personally have proven to be immense. It has strengthened my resilience. Being out in nature, trekking with like minded people and wandering through Queensland’s beautiful national parks and state forests has effectively kept me outside of the health system. Without this program, I can almost guarantee my mental and physical health would have suffered greatly, but this has not occurred and it is because of Trek2Health.
