Raise funds for the Black Dog Institute

Who are we?

Emma and Grace are raising funds for the Black Dog Institute as a part of CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) for our IB diplomas. We plan to walk over 17 km from Semaphore to Glenelg to raise awareness of mental health issues. This walk will challenge us and force us to go out of our comfort zones and empathise with people who experience mental health struggles.

 

Why?

In the past, we have both struggled with mental health and want to make it a less taboo topic so that people feel comfortable to talk about it. All of the funds will be donated to the Black Dog Institute to support their programs.

 

Who is the Black Dog Institute?

They are a non-for-profit facility that supports diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mood disorders. They are based in Sydney, Australia and were founded by UNSW. All donations go towards their programs. We would greatly appreciate your support and generous contributions!
