Help me create a mentally healthier world
I'm standing up to join Team Black Dog to turn ground breaking research into life saving action.
Mental illness affects 1 in 5 Australians every year, with the most common being depression and anxiety. Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It affects people from all walks of life — individuals, families, workplaces and communities.

Welcome Mental Health Crusader,
My name's Michael Kavanagh,
and this October I’ll be walking
800km across Spain to bring
awareness to Mental Health problems prevalent
in modern society.
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate. It
affects people from all walks of life — individuals,
families, workplaces and communities.
If you think this is a worthy cause and
want to show
your support by donating to the Black Dog Institute, please hit that Donate button at the top of this page and give as little or as much as you're able.
100% of donations go directly to the
Black Dog Institute to provide support, education and research in the field of Mental Health.
Together we can work (and walk) towards a mentally healthy future for all.
Thank you to my Sponsors
