At Macro Mike, we believe good health isn't just about what's in your shaker bottle. It's about the communities we build, the causes we champion, and showing up for the people doing incredible things around us.
From backing grassroots fitness clubs to fuelling charity bike rides and standing behind causes close to our hearts, here's a look back at how we've supported our community from January through to now in 2026.
🏋️♀️ Backing Local Fitness Communities
Some of our favourite moments this year have come from getting behind the everyday legends pushing themselves (and their communities) to be better.
Throughout 2026, Macro Mike has supported so many incredible fitness brands across Australia, from run clubs and 6-week challenges to health retreats and new fitness studio openings. Whatever the format, we've loved fuelling the hard work, sweat, and dedication happening behind the scenes.
These are the coaches, studios, and communities building real, lasting change in people's lives, one session at a time, and we're proud to help fuel that journey.
🏏 Pink Stumps Day with Helensvale Pacific Pines Cricket Club
In February, we supported the Helensvale Pacific Pines Cricket Club's annual Pink Stumps Day, held in support of the McGrath Foundation. It's community sport at its best: turning a Saturday game into a meaningful fundraiser that helps put McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across Australia. We were honoured to help fuel the day.
🚴♀️ Challenge Victoria: Riding for Smiddy
This year, we're getting behind something truly special: Challenge Victoria, where 60 bike riders are taking on 664km over 5 days through Victoria's iconic heartlands, all in support of Mater Smiling for Smiddy, with a goal of raising $1,000,000 for cancer research.
This ride marks the 20th anniversary of the very first Smiddy Challenge, a ride from Brisbane to Townsville held in honour of Adam Smiddy, who tragically passed away from melanoma at just 26 years old. Two decades on, that first ride has grown into a nationwide movement supporting life-changing cancer research, and we're proud to be fuelling the riders taking it on.
👩🦳 Standing with Impact for Women
We've continued our support of Impact for Women, an organisation dedicated to supporting women and children impacted by domestic violence. It's a cause that matters deeply to us, and we're committed to helping provide practical support to those rebuilding their lives.
🫖 Spill the Tea for a Cause
We were proud to support Spill the Tea for a Cause, raising awareness and funds for those affected by cancer. Causes like this remind us how powerful community and connection can be when facing life's toughest challenges.
🙌🏻 Turner Syndrome Association of Australia
We also supported a youth session run by the Turner Syndrome Association of Australia. Turner Syndrome is a rare genetic condition affecting approximately 1 in every 2,000 females, caused by the complete or partial absence of one X chromosome. It can bring medical and developmental challenges, including short stature, heart and kidney issues, and infertility.
Despite these challenges, individuals with Turner Syndrome live rich, fulfilling lives, and sessions like this one play a vital role in building confidence, community, and lifelong friendships among youth navigating the condition. We were glad to help fuel a day that gave these young people space to connect and be celebrated.
💪 More Than a Protein Brand
Whether it's a local sports club running a fundraiser, a group of cyclists tackling hundreds of kilometres for cancer research, or an organisation supporting women, children, and young people facing real challenges, we believe in showing up.
This is just a snapshot of what Macro Mike has been part of in 2026 so far, and we're not slowing down. Here's to more communities fuelled, more causes supported, and better done together!
