In memory of Nigel Grattan

By Ella Turner Join Me

Father, Son, Husband, Brother and Friend- Nigel Grattan

Nigel Grattan was a loving Father, Son, Husband, Brother and Friend. He is remembered today for the kind, funny and loving man that he was. 

Today should have been the day that Dad walked me down the aisle, but I know he is here in spirit. 

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.

Today, I remember Dad and honour him through this fundraiser. I am so grateful to be able to hear stories of his life and have him live on through these special memories. Thank you to his family and friends who help bring his spirit to life. 

To anyone who can and does contribute, I am sincerely grateful you are supporting this important cause, in honour of Nigel Grattan.

For those that got the privilege to know him, I know he loved you dearly, and to those that unfortunately didn't get the opportunity to have him in your life, I know he would have connected with you and loved having you in his life if he were here.

Love Ella and Grant x

This is to honour Nigel Grattan, who would have loved being here today surrounded by his loved ones. There are 80 guests here today. Instead of wedding favours which have no impact and are often left behind, we wanted to organise fundraisers close to our hearts. We (Ella and Grant) have donated $400 to Black Dog Institute. This equates to $10 per 40 guests, which are half the amount of guests we have today. We will donate the remaining $10 per guest, which also equals $400, to honour Andrew Turner, with the Heart Foundation. Dad, I know you are here in spirit. I love you.
