Help me make it meaningful
Mental illness doesn’t wait until you turn 50 – 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. Instead of throwing a party or receiving gifts, I'm hoping that maybe we can throw a few dollars their way.
Every dollar raised will 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.
