25.01.2022 Some call it mindfulness, some call it meditation, some call it relaxation. I simply call it permission to have a 15min power nap at school. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #hellohurricanefoundation #pushups #squats #burpees #sleep #relax #kipper

24.01.2022 This is the kind of holiday program I wanted to be a part of when I was at school, and I’m thankful that I’m not the only one. Great session today for some of the students in our Term 2 cohort, utilising the skills learnt during the term in a real gym setting culminating in a killer workout at the end that even had me questioning my ‘why’. Haha. Well done team. Also thank you to Cam from @lionmodesth for allowing us to use his space, he’s always been a big supporter of Hello ...Hurricane. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #gym #burpees #pushups #squats #notcrossfit #assaultbike #rower #chinups #geelong #schoolholidays #hellohurricanefoundation @ CrossFit Lionmode South

22.01.2022 When I founded Hello Hurricane I never imagined that I’d be in a position where schools don’t want us to come in and work with their students due to restrictions that come from a worldwide pandemic. As I always wanted Hello Hurricane to continually strive for excellence and to be better than yesterday to achieve its outcomes, I always placed myself in a humble posture of learning and being willing to adapt to our surrounding environment. This also meant at times I had some ...hard conversations and learned some harsh lessons. If I am to be honest some of these lessons almost took me out of the game altogether, to hang up the boots and just ‘get a job’ seemed so appealing and the easy way out. Right now we are facing the harsh reality that we cannot continue to function as we always have. But all is not lost! Personally I have shored up my income by diversifying my employment which, among other things, includes working more days with Army. Doing this means food on the table and a roof over my families head whilst also removing a financial burden to Hello Hurricane. We are also developing an online Strategic Leadership Training for student leaders as part of our service delivery that is separate from schools and takes into account our current Social Distancing guidelines. Hello Hurricane will weather the storm and we will do this by each of us taking personal responsibility to weather our own storms. Our name comes from the awesome @switchfoot song ‘Hello Hurricane’ and at seasons like this one is a fantastic song that I ask you listen to the lyrics and let them into your mindset. Hello hurricane, you’re not enough Hello hurricane, you can’t silence my love I’ve got doors and windows boarded up All your dead end fury is not enough You can’t silence my love Be STRONG, RESILIENT, CAPABLE, and HEALTHY. There are generations of people that require us to be. Make Good Choice Raigan CEO HELLO HURRICANE FOUNDATION #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #hellohurricanefoundation #weatherthestorm #worksmart

22.01.2022 When I first started this Hello Hurricane journey, I naively assumed that people would not take much convincing of the need for a program that addressed both physical health and mental health in young people through simple and proven scientific methods. Turns out I was mistaken and so that’s why Savi Solutions has been a tremendous help and by learning to be more situationally aware our program has impacted nearly 150 young lives and continues to grow. Get along to this and get around the great man that is Marcus.

22.01.2022 It’s been a great pleasure to train 15 of the rowdiest Grade 6s from @bannockburncollege this term. We are halfway through the program and I can honestly say it’s the highlight of my working week. I adapted the program to suit their age and the boys are already seeing physiological and psychological changes for the better. Thank you to all those that have supported us financially and strategically to equip this generation. @masteryourmoneynow @savisolutions @aspotforbusiness... @aspotforjoe #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #fitness #pushups #burpees #squats #running #hellohurricanefoundation @ Bannockburn P-12 College

21.01.2022 I don’t know how many times I have to keep saying this but physical improvement generally always leads to mental outcomes. The work we do ALWAYS has value, one life at a time. #hellohurricanefoundation #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #burpees #squats #geelong #weatheringstorms #goals

21.01.2022 Had a great session with the junior leadership team from Covenant College Geelong. These leaders, from years 5/6/7/8, are just starting their journey as leaders and is an honour to impart into them. Plus they get to have LOTS of minties! Minties are one of the best teaching tools. Thanks to our continued supporters @aspotforjoe @masteryourmoneynow and @savisolutions for making this happen! #leadership #youth #mentalhealth #personaldevelopment #hellohurricanefoundation

18.01.2022 It all started for me on the 4th Jan, getting the call up to go and assist with the unprecedented fires that had ravished our wonderful country. I was at the pool with my son, Dexter, and I got the call up to be at the GEELONG Depot in 2hrs. It broke my heart to tell my boy we had to leave the pool because daddy has to go to work but his little 2yr old brain somehow understood. Our section from 8/7 RVR has done a range of tasks supporting the locals and assisting emergency ...services to keep people safe and as comfortable as possible as they navigate this uncertainty. We started in Wangaratta at a Crisis Centre and moved through to Bright and I’m currently in Ovens at the Incident Control Centre managing their supply store and logistics. It’s been a great honour to serve our country in this way and provide direct relief to those who need it most. I’m grateful to our Board of Directors releasing me as their CEO to respond to this, and I want everyone to know that Hello Hurricane will be back in schools this year doing what we do best: Building STRONG, RESILIENT, CAPABLE & HEALTHY young people. I can’t wait to get home and see my beautiful Dexter and Marcelle and my absolutely incredible wife Erin who kept everything and everyone going on the home front. From what I’ve seen up here, most hero’s wear hi-vis! #bushfireassist #victoria #vicfires #whateverisneeded #adf @ Ovens, Victoria

18.01.2022 It would be a great irony if as a Foundation who’s slogan is Weather the Storm wasn’t able to actually Weather the Storm that was 2020. Well we did survive and strangely enough have come through in a stronger position for 2021. Starting in Term 2 we’ll be delivering programs to schools in the Geelong region as we do our part to build resilience and capability of our young people. ... #hellohurricanefoindation #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #resilence #strength #capability

16.01.2022 Thanks again for having us @bay939geelong #thestormiscoming #hellohurricane #projectalpha

15.01.2022 I had the pleasure of launching #ProjectBRAVO yesterday at @bannockburncollege with the College and house captains. A dynamic group of students passionate to learn strategic leadership concepts to help them build a better future and a better self. I look forward to rolling Project BRAVO out to more schools and their leadership teams. #leadership #personaldevelopment #hellohurricanefoindation #mentalhealth

15.01.2022 Tune into @bay939geelong this afternoon at 5:30 to hear Raigs chatting with @darylreader about next week’s event. . Don’t forget to book your ticket [link in profile]. Bring your mum. #thestormiscoming #projectalpha

13.01.2022 Spent this week with some of the team from @outbeyond_anz whilst facilitating nearly 100 Yr 8 students from Casey Grammar. An incredibly well run and professional organisation achieving great outcomes for young people. I’m delighted @hellohurricanefoundation was able to support their great work. #outbeyond #youthdevelopment #fitness #hiking #otways

13.01.2022 After a quick look at the data from today’s testing at both #CovenantCollegeGeelong and #OberonHighSchool it appears that over 85% of our students have increased the cardiovascular and strength conditioning work capacity. Studies show that this increase in fitness has a direct effect on their mental health and overall sense of well-being. Absolutely outstanding effort by everyone in our Term 2 Cohort. Massive thank you to our supporters, @aspotforjoe @savisolutions @masteryo...urmoneynow @kardiniachurch (Kardinia Community Services) and @fpaaustralia. #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #pushups #squats #burpees #kettlebell

12.01.2022 Deeply appreciative of the great work that @turosigiving has done and continues to do in our community. We were incredibly humbled by their generosity regardless of the many challenges we are all facing. Their amazing donation will continue to ensure our suite of programs are delivered in schools once restrictions are lifted. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #youth #leadershipdevelopment #burpees #pushups #squats

10.01.2022 Term 3 rolls on and this time it’s #surfcoastsecondary VCAL students placing their lives into the our skilled hands. Don’t worry it’s not really a life threatening program, but considering how debilitating a life can be when facing anxiety, stress and depression, maybe it’s a life saving program. Thank you to @surfcoastshire @surfcoastyouth for supporting both the school and us.... #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #pushups #squats #burpees #hellohurricanefoundation

08.01.2022 A sad day last week at Covenant College as we draw to a close for the Term, but I was totally floored by their kind words. @chiaraharrington @georgia.whiteley and I have loved every minute of the training and equipping these young people and helping them build capability for a complex world. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #squats #burpees #complex #capabilty @ Covenant College (Geelong)

08.01.2022 Many thanks to Brad Walker from MCP Financial Services who supported our successful application to the @future2_foundation and @fpaaustralia. This generous support will help us achieve many positive outcomes for young people in Terms 2, 3 & 4. On a side note, for a second or two I thought the FPA had given us a cool $1m. I nearly lost my hat!... #hellohurricanefoundation #future2foundation #fpa #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #squats #burpees

05.01.2022 Last Man Standing with the burpee beep test, but instead of everyone else just doing their own thing they come and support their fellow participant until the very end. There is something unique about a bond that is formed in the crucible of hard work and endurance. Oh and he go to level 15. Give it a go! #hellohurricanefoundation #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #burpees #pushups #squats With thanks to... @masteryourmoneynow @savisolutions @aspotforjoe See more

03.01.2022 Finished the school holiday session with a 5km team row. In pairs they row intervals of 500m each. A tough session considering the work they did prior. Well done everyone. Super proud. #hellohurricanefoundation #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #concept2rower #skierg #assaultbike #pushups #squats #burpees

01.01.2022 Finished up a Grade 6 transition program for 15 boys heading into Year 7. They always turned up to our sessions with so much, (actually it was always too much enthusiasm) haha. However, they’ve been the most consistent group we’ve ever had maintaining a 97% attendance rate average. Because of this they increased their cardiovascular and strength conditioning by an average of 36% over the 9 weeks and we know this directly translates into a positive and more resilient mental st...ate for each of them, which is our ultimate goal. I am so proud of these boys, they worked hard, they listened and they had an absolute blast. I’ll miss travelling out to see them every week. Thank you to @bannockburncollege for investing into their lives and going above and beyond. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #squats #burpees #hellohurricanefoundation @aspotforjoe @savisolutions @masteryourmoneynow @future2_foundation @kardiniachurch

01.01.2022 Was a great honour to be in the room for the Surf Coast Shire Youth Summit. We have a great working relationship with @surfcoastshire and the @surfcoastyouth development team, and we look forward to continuing to achieve great outcomes for their young people. #hellohurricanefoundation #youth #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #squats #localbusiness

01.01.2022 A wise man once told me that young people are told continually about how bad they have it (employment, mental and physical health, debt, etc) so instead of telling them HOW bad things are, why not tell them HOW much they are valued, cared for and have people willing to fight for them. Join us on Sep 3rd, hear our plan for the current and future wellbeing of our young people. Eventbrite link in our description. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL.... Eternally grateful to our sponsors @thewarehousegeelong @neoncollective.co @masteryourmoneynow @savisolutions music by @nathplum Catering by @aspotforjoe MC’s @darylreader and @samanthakrajina from @bay939geelong. I promise I won’t make you do any pushups.

01.01.2022 Very excited to show off our very limited edition patches. Many thanks to @masteryourmoneynow for your ongoing financial support and to @tacticalthreadsaustralia for the best quality patches I’ve ever seen. Amazing work. Of course our logo in #blackmulticam looks pretty cool too. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #pushups #squats #burpees #hellohurricanefoundation #patches #masteryourmoneynow
