Bathurst 2 Newcastle

By Ethan Comerford Join Me

Bathurst 2 Newy

Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.

Men's mental health often goes unspoken, with many feeling the weight of societal expectations to remain strong and silent in the face of struggle. It's time to break that silence. By donating to men's mental health initiatives, you're helping provide essential resources such as therapy, counseling, and support programs specifically designed to address the unique challenges men face. Your contribution helps create a safe space where men can seek help without fear of judgment or stigma. Every dollar you give supports the mission to ensure that men can talk openly, receive the care they need, and live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Together, we can change the narrative around men's mental health and ensure that no man has to fight his battles alone.

That’s why I’m getting active and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Help me to reach my  goal while I spend 6 days running from Bathurst to Newcastle to help promote the importance of Mens Mental Health

Thank you.
