Its me again! Im back but I'm not running a crazy distance, instead I'm celebrating which to me feels more important than running! i have the same very important objective though which is to help as many people as possible suffering with mental illness through your very generous donations.

In two months time i will meet my one year anniversary of my attempt to take my life, the day i was given a very big second chance - huge! this anniversary means so so much to me as its a year of recovery, a year out of the hospital system (the longest I've done in 10 years) and a year of finding myself, who i am, what i stand for and what matters for me.

If there is one thing i have learnt that has blown my mind in this time its that mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year!!. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — it could be your colleague, your boss, that woman/man at the checkout or pacing quickly through the shops, your best friend, a parent, a relative; literally ANYONE.

I wanted to do something huge for my anniversary and couldn't stop this overwhelming feeing of wanting to help others not have to go through what I've experienced, this is that way.

I would be so thankful, honoured and overwhelmed if you could please donate to this very very important issue that is close to my heart.

Please donate today! and help Black dog institute help others!
