Help me make it meaningful

I’ll give you my short story before the basic run down on why mental health matters. I’ve been one to struggle with mental health throughout my years of living. Only recently have I begun to find myself in a good rhythm of life appreciating so much, and this was mainly down to the help I reached out for over the years whether it was with a uni counsellor, an online therapist or an in person psychologist. So I want to make sure to spread the word and help raise funds for such an important cause. 

On top of this, recently I had a good friend of mine pass away. This hit me a lot harder than I imagined, a friend that I was very grateful to have in my life and one who was a massive advocate of mental health, Chris Hure. 

So this run is also for Chris, a man who always made sure to spread mental health awareness posts and a man who was always ready to have a chat about anything. So please help me out with raising funds for something so important not only to me but I’m sure important to most peoples lives.

Help me run a marathon for 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.

That’s why I’m getting active and 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 as I work up a sweat, all for a great cause.

Please donate now. Thank you.

16km run

Monday 2nd Feb
Today I ran a 16k run. This was the longest I’ve ever run and mentally was a bit challenging seeing as I haven’t ran consistently in a minute but thanks to the support of friends and family and the donations everyone has put in, it made me want to and NEED to finish the run. Thank you all, please keep sharing the link if you can!
