Robbie’s triathlon
Mental illness is something that is talked about more than it probably ever has right now. But, it still affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be long lasting and hurt not only the person itself but those around them as well.
As many of those around me know, Mental Health has been something i have greatly struggled with from a younger age. My disorders greatly affect my life, even spending 2 birthdays in a row in the ward, one being my 18th. I honestly wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
There are many people and teams that have greatly helped me throughout my mental health journey, such as BEATS early access team.
Unfortunately, few adolescents have access to these teams, or help at all.
As a result, I’m participating in a triathlon to raise funds for an organisation that has been very helpful in supporting people with mental health issues.
Any donation would be greatly appreciated, even a simple share can help.
