Last year the company raised more than $3200 and the 16 workers are hoping to raise even more this time around.
Cyclad's salesperson Dave Keller said it was about promoting health and wellbeing, as well as raising money for the cause.
"I know personally I've lost some friends, like young male friends, to suicide, and cancer, especially prostate cancer...well they say 1 in 6 men in their lifetime will be diagnosed, so I don't think you'd find any group of this many guys who hasn't been affected personally or with close friends and relatives."
