You heard it hear first!!
Now that I've hit my thirties, its only right I complete the obligatory half marathon and a 10km Mt Coot-tha trail run (with my running buddy, Abby - pictured above).
My background is in behavioural sciences and I often see within my work how mental health has serious and lasting effects on individuals and their families. Mental health can often be overlooked or hidden away due to stigma's that surround it.
This is why I've chosen to get sweaty and raise money for the Black Dog Institute, a not-for-profit medical research facility focusing specifically on 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.
Please support me whilst I run/cry, all for a great cause! Any donations would be greatly appreciated!!
If anyone reading this needs support around mental health there are free services that can help...
