Zoo2Zoo for Mental Health!
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.
As most of you know I have battled Bi Polar for a number of years, I received my intial diagnosis after a vist to the BDI in 2012.
The BDI does crucial research work into mental illness and provides critical resources for sufferers and their support network.
This will be my 5th (I think) year riding and my 10th year involved with Z2Z. Apart from the obvious health benefits of cycling I also find that the time on the bike allows me to quiten my mind. I have met some amazing people through cycling and acheived things I never thought possible, my training has been a little bit light on to date but I am confident that I will be ready to take on the Canberra to Dubbo ride in March.
If you have a few dollars spare please consider a donation to support the great work the BDI does and keep your fingers crossed for nice weather and a tail wind come March.
