Help me make it meaningful
Star Wars Day us upon us already in 2025 - and while exciting for all fans it is also a great time to draw a focus on mental health and the challenges many Australians face.
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.
That’s why I’m asking you to donate to the Black Dog Institute.
Every dollar raised will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
Help me celebrate and create a meaningful moment for mental health by donating as a gift to me. May the Fourth Be With You in 2025!
