Shave to be Brave

By Stephen Gaudin Join Me

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 making a change for the first time in about 10 years I will be clean shaven, my two youngest girls have never seen me without a beard.  My 12 year old would not remember me without it either. With a fresh shave 🪒 -do and raising funds for the Black Dog Institute. 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 when I go the chop, all for a great cause.

Not only am I doing this in recognition of my own battles but also for those friends I have lost and those friends also battling similar dark issues.

Please donate now. Thank you.
