Black Dog Battle

Story

I've been battling depression for as long as I can remember... and it's nothing short of that. A battle. Day in and day out. For a long time I didn't know what was wrong with me and would do everything i could to make my life incredibly difficult. 

 

But I'm not the only one. 


So this September, I’m going to be sweating it out and doing my best to complete the Sydney Running Festival's 9km run for the Black Dog Institute... I know it's not the longest of distances, but it is the first time I'll be taking part in such an event since breaking my back 3 and a half years ago. And hence for me, it's quite the challenge.

 

I initially set a modest fundraising target of $1,000, but in just a few hours that was reached. I've since revised that figure and I now want to achieve something I never thought would be possible - raise $5,000. I'm hoping I can get as much continued support from everyone I know in a bid to help others continue their battle with the right support behind them, with thanks to incredible organisations like Black Dog.

 

Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Black Dog Institute

One in five Australians are affected by mental illness each year.

Mental illness can be overwhelming, crippling and isolating. 

The Black Dog Institute is a not-for-profit organisation and world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder and suicide. 
We are the only mental health facility in Australia that combines clinical services, high quality translational research and education programs. We work to empower communities and help the stigma surrounding mental illness.

The Black Dog Institute has 4 important goals:
to diagnose mental illness accurately and early,
treat them using innovative, effective and accessible strategies,
prevent their onset by understanding why and who they affect
to reduce the overall impact of mental illness and save lives.

Black Dog Institute’s vision is for a mentally healthier world. 
A world where the onset of depression and suicide can be prevented and treated. With your help we can make this vision a reality.
