everydayhero: Team beyondblue

Why I've joined:

After a lot of consideration, my aim is to complete 2 half marathons in 3 weeks starting on Sunday 6th August with the WAMC Perth Half Marathon then on Sunday 27th August with the Chevron City to Surf Half Marathon.

Having been overwhelmed by the support I received for the 12km run that I completed back in May I wanted to continue to raise funds and awareness for mental health charities here in Perth.

I'm sure the personal sacrifices, the aches, pains and lack of beer will all be worthwhile!

All donations are greatly appreciated and will help push me through the training needed to complete these 2 events.

I’ve joined Team beyondblue to help make a real difference to the lives of individuals, families and communities affected by depression, anxiety and suicide.

Beyond Blue

Many of us have been affected by anxiety and depression, either personally or through family, friends or colleagues. Right now, over 1 million people in Australia experience depression and 2 million are experiencing anxiety. On average, 8 people take their lives every day in Australia.

Beyond Blue’s vision is for all people in Australia to achieve their best possible mental health.

The funds and awareness you raise will help us enormously as we work to support people to protect their mental health and to recover when they are unwell, reduce people’s experiences of stigma and discrimination, and improve people’s opportunities to get effective support and services at the right time.

With your support, we will continue to innovate and deliver new services and programs, distribute free information resources and share powerful stories of hope and recovery across Australia, fund world-leading research, roll out evidence-based campaigns and advocate for all people in Australia affected by anxiety, depression and suicide.

Your support will also help us keep up with demand for our 24/7 phone and online Support Service – which is staffed by mental health professionals and provides life-saving support to hundreds of people every day.
