Alexis Does Kokoda in 2023 - help me create a world with better mental health for all
Almost a year ago I started my journey with Black Dog Institute and started to make a difference for mental health and helping fundraisers raise funds and awareness for mental illness.
This year, I'm standing up to join Team Black Dog to turn ground breaking research into life saving action and walking 165Km's along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea for Black Dog Institute's Hike for Mental Health: Kokoda 2023.
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety- and I can guess if you are reading this, (aside from caring about what I have to say) you know someone who is that '1 in 5', or, maybe you are that '1 in 5'- you are not alone, because I am also a '1 in 5' that has experienced mental illness.
So that's why I have decided to take the first of 300,863 steps and raise funds for the vital work that Black Dog Institute does- raising awareness and funds and reducing stigma for mental illness.
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.
Please help me help them by giving whatever you can.
The more people that know about Black Dog Institute, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to so many!
