In loving memory of John Koda

In celebration of John's life, we will be gathering at Moffat Beach at 6am April 10.
Please donate to Black Dog in his honour. He will be missed greatly by so many, and his memory will live on in all our hearts.
Love each other. Take the time to hold those you love a little longer, and a little tighter.

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.
They do this through ‘translational’ research. Integrating their research studies, education programs, digital tools and apps, clinical services, and public resources to discover new solutions, foster connections and create real-world change.
Their partnerships with people with lived experience, federal, state and local governments, communities, schools, corporate Australia and others in the mental health sector enables us to drive evidence-informed change in mental health where it’s needed most.

Let’s all take time to ask our friends “how are you really?” It can be a brutal world at times and a problem shared is a problem halved. We knew John just a short time, but in that short time it was enough time to know we wish we knew him so much longer!!!

John was always there for my family. Helping my parents with all the odd jobs at 7 Wilson Ave, teaching my boys how to surf, driving us to surf shops to buy new surfboards, helping me with various bolts for my triathlon bikes and putting on great breakfasts at Moffs with his specialty Frog in the hole! We will miss greatly his cheerful, selfless and caring nature. Love to Paula, Kristy, Gemma and family. RIP Johnny Koda..
