Help me create a mentally healthier world

On the 17th of March 2021, I will turn 30. 

Throughout much of those 30 years I have struggled with various mental health issues, namely social anxiety disorder and depression. This has affected many aspects of my life, such as socialising, study and work. I’ve been fortunate to have a good support network around me. Many are less fortunate and require better access to resources. I want to dedicate this period leading up to my 30th birthday to raising money for people who struggle with mental illness.

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.

City2Surf Virtual Run

Tuesday 18th Aug
I just registered for the City2Surf Virtual Run event!

I'll be mapping a 14km track to walk on Sunday the 18th of October. Exercise and fresh air are both important for strengthening and maintaining good mental health.

Hi!

Wednesday 12th Aug
Super excited about launching this fundraiser.
I'm still trying to figure out what activity or activities I could do as part of the fundraiser, but I have time to figure it out. I'd like to set myself some sort of challenge that would be beneficial to my own mental health, so that this fundraiser can help both my mental well-being and the mental well-being of others.

Thank you to my Sponsors
