Fundraise for mental health
Hey guys,
I've been taking part in dry-ish July.
My last drink was on the 6th of July and I've been knocking back kombucha ever since.
As someone who is not opposed to a fine glass of wine or 5, I can honestly say it's been a challenge and I am very proud of myself for sticking to it.
As I near the end of my challenge, I'd like to publicly reveal my motivation and to try and raise some money for a cause I hold very close to my heart.
Nearly six years ago I lost a very good friend of mine to suicide.
He was a wonderful support to me during my own struggles and hospitalization due to depression and anxiety.
We'd lost touch over the last couple of years and I very much blamed myself for not reaching out sooner.
I've watched, stood beside and supported a couple of my closest friends through depression, anxiety and bipolar and have always been vocal about my own ongoing battles with depression.
It's a horrible, isolating experience.
So, please, if you can, donate to the black dog institute.
They do amazing work, with ongoing research into mental health and by providing support and resources to those who need them.
This is a serious issue worldwide which is being aggravated by the current pandemic.
So please, if you can, donate however much you can to my page as it all goes to this amazing organization.
Love you all <3>
