In memory of a loved one
Alycia suffered from mental illness for many years of her short life. She was a passionate advocate for the rights of the disabled, was instrumental in creating policy in the field, provided advice to the Victorian Royal Commission into mental health, and for the last years of her life she battled courageously against the depression that eventually took her life.
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.
Black Dog Institute is the only medical research institute in Australia to investigate mental health across the lifespan. Their aim is to create a mentally healthier world for everyone.
Your gift will support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
Thank you.

Dear Alycia, I'm still sad you have departed. I guess putting a donation here makes it more real for me. Just a damn great and good soul you, are my dear. Damn great. Damn good. As I said to someone, a little bit of you rubbed off on many people. And we can take that bit of you and live good lives for us and others. Rest now xox

Dear Chris, I worked with Alycia and she was always so compassionate and kind, always ready to listen and discuss, and so much help and support to me in my role. I am so sad that she is gone and will keep thinking of her often. I am planting some flowers and visiting the sea in her memory.

I knew Alycia years ago, and through we were never super close and I haven't seen her in a long time, I know how generous, kind, smart and funny she was. I know how much integrity and depth she had. And I know how hard she was, and will continue to be, loved. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Rest peacefully Blondie 🌻
