Help me make it meaningful
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.
That’s why we are returning for our third year of 20km Walk in the Bush, to get active and raise funds for the Black Dog Institute - to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
Since this event started, we have raised $31,964 for Black Dog Institute. Help us create a meaningful moment for mental health.
Please support a great cause and join us on Saturday 4th May to walk and talk. If you are also able to, please donate now. Thank you.
