Help make 2020 the start of the NEW world!
Each year, Facebook offers the opportunity to raise funds for a charity of my choice as a "celebration" of my birthday. This year is not exactly a year to be celebrated! 2020 has been a shocking year, from devastating bushfires to other climate disasters, to global pandemics and the associated political antics. Amongst all this, our family was impacted by the suicide of a dear friend.
Rather than using Facebook's "It's nearly your birthday...let's raise funds (and gather more data about you") platform, I am asking that friends please consider making a donation directly to Black Dog Institute.
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.
