Story
On 6th March, 2015, I'll be donning my Lyrca in Vietnam to peddle the Black Dog Ride to Happiness and to raise funds for Black Dog Institute.
When I first heard about Black Dog Institute, I was surprised to find out:
- 6 Aussies will die from suicide today, another 30 will try to kill themselves
- 1 in 5 Aussies live with a mental disorder
- People aged 18-24 years have the highest prevalence of mental disorders of any other age group
- Youth suicide is the leading cause of death in young people aged 15-24 years
- Two trials have found that 16 weeks of regular exercise is equally effective as antidepressant medication in the treatment of mild to moderate depression
Each year, Black Dog Institute aims to advance the understanding, diagnosis and management of depression and Bipolar Disorder and improve the lives of those affected by these mood disorders. This is a cause that's close to my heart (and head) and something I'm extremely passionate about... passionate enough to ride my pushy hundreds of kilometres through Veitnam and Cambodia!
If you'd like some more bang for your donation buck, John at Bathe Wines has kindly offered to donate $40 from the sale of every dozen (or mixed dozen) of his Adelaide Hills Sauv Blanc and McLaren Vale Shiraz. CLICK HERE to buy - there's free shipping on every order!

Thank you!
PS. If you haven't lived with depression, this video hits the nail on the head.

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.
