I'm standing up to join Team Black Dog to turn ground breaking research into life saving action.

I'm certainly not much of a runner, but I'm passionate about the mental health of Aussies, so this month I'll be hitting the pavement with the drive of raising money for the 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.

Please donate - it will help someone you love dearly, even if you didn't realise they needed help.
