Jerome Joel Leedy Memorial

Mother’s Day is coming… and this year, skip the last-minute flowers. We do realise this is still a bit last minute but we'll get it done if you order by tomorrow 8pm.

Give her something she’ll actually wear.
Something that means something.

Our Mother’s Day tees are designed to celebrate the women who hold everything together — Mum, Nan, Nanna, Granny… whatever name she’s known by, it’s the one that matters most.

✔️ Relaxed, oversized fit (comfort she’ll love)
✔️ Meaningful designs (not generic)
✔️ Personalised options available
✔️ Made to feel special — not just another gift

These aren’t just tees.
They’re a reminder of who she is to you, every time she puts it on.

Whether she’s the quiet strength, the loud love, or the glue that keeps everyone connected… this is for her.

Order now to make sure it is made in time for Mother’s Day. $40 each
Pickup from Cashmere or Chermside. Sorry no delivery as we're a bit late.

Today, we take a moment to remember Jerome — a Father, Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin & Nephew, a talented rugby league player and a mate to many.

On this day, we honour his life, his spirit, and the impact he continues to have — on those who knew him, and on those of us who didn’t, but have come to feel the strength, connection, and love within the JJL Memorial community.

JJL Memorial was created in Jerome’s memory — not just to play the game he loved, but to carry his name forward, to stand strong as a family and community, and to remind our people that no one walks alone.

While the team isn’t taking the field this year, Jerome’s legacy doesn’t pause. His story lives on in the way this community shows up for each other, and in the bonds that have been built along the way.

Today is a day for reflection.
A day to check in with your mob.
A day to stand together.

We remember you, Jerome. Always. ❤️🖤💛

If you’re struggling, please reach out — to your family, your friends, your community. There is strength in speaking up, and there is always someone who will listen.

What started from loss has grown into something that continues to support, guide, and bring people together.

Strong mind. Strong spirit. Always remembered.

Stand Strong.

That’s what JJL Memorial is all about — standing strong together as a community and remembering a brother who will never be forgotten.

Today we celebrate his birthday and the legacy he left behind. 🖤🏉

We’d love to hear your memories of him. Share a story, a photo, or a message in the comments so we can all remember him together.

His memory lives on through family, friends, and the JJL Memorial team. 🖤

Letting go of perfectionism

Perfection stops more men than failure ever will.

Waiting until things are “just right” is usually fear wearing a disguise.

Fear of failing.
Fear of judgement.
Fear of being seen.

Progress beats perfect — every time.

Move forward. Learn as you go.

Talk it out:
What’s something you’ve been putting off because you want it perfect?

Strength through perspective

Gratitude isn’t about pretending things are good when they’re not.

It’s about recognising what’s still standing when life gets heavy.

If you woke up today — that matters.
If you’re breathing — that matters.
If you’ve got people who care — that matters.

Gratitude shifts your mindset from lack to strength.

Talk it out:
What’s one thing — big or small — you’re grateful for today?

You can’t run your life if you keep blaming everyone else.

At some point, you’ve got to step up and act like the CEO of your own life.

That doesn’t mean your past didn’t hurt.
It doesn’t mean things were fair.
It means from here on, you take the wheel.

When you stop saying “this happened to me”
and start saying “what do I do next?”
everything changes.

Talk it out:
Where in your life can you take ownership today — even just 1% more?

You’re Not Stuck

You’re not “just this way.”
You’re not broken.
You’re not finished.

Everything you’ve been through can either harden you — or teach you.

Growth isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being willing to learn.

Every challenge holds a lesson.
Every mistake is information.

Talk it out:
What’s something in your life that’s testing you right now — and what might it be trying to teach you?

A new year gives us a moment to pause, reflect, and reset — but the values that guide JJL Memorial don’t change with the calendar.

JJL Memorial exists beyond the field. It’s about creating space for our mob to feel seen, supported, and grounded — knowing there is always someone walking beside them. It's how we show up for each other — in moments of strength and in moments when things feel heavy. It reminds us that connection matters, that support matters, and that no one has to carry things alone.

As we step into this new year, we do so together. Carrying our stories, honouring our journey, and continuing to stand for one another — no matter what lies ahead.

Here’s to a year of unity, resilience, and staying strong in mind and spirit.

Talk It Out Tuesday — Community Pride

Pride runs deeper than colours on a jersey or words on a shirt.
It’s in how we show up for each other — on and off the field.
It’s in the way we talk, support, and lift each other when life gets tough.

Community pride isn’t loud or flashy.
It’s built in quiet moments — a helping hand, a shared laugh, a simple check-in.
It’s knowing that when one of us stands tall, we all do.

Take a moment to appreciate the people who make our community what it is.
The ones who show up.
The ones who care.
The ones who keep our spirit strong.

Together, we rise. Together, we heal. Together, we make this community something to be proud of. 🖤💛❤️
