Cush Ryder - Dog fight

Help me make it meaningful

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.

That’s why I’m raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

Help me create a meaningful moment for mental health, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.

Two special gigs to raise money and awareness for Black Dog!

Monday 18th Aug
Help me raise the roof for The Black Dog Institute. Two special shows will be on at The Missing Gorilla, Eltham, and the classic Robinhood Inn, Drouin to get together and raise funds and awareness for those dealing with mental health issues and suicide prevention. Black Dog Institute is a proudly independent not-for-profit globally renowned mental health research institute connected to UNSW Sydney. They are the only medical research institute in Australia that investigates mental health across the lifespan—from childhood to adulthood.
