Mitch

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics approximately 1 in 5 or 5 million people suffer from a form of mental illness. For those of you who do not know I have suffered from depression and anxiety for the majority of my life, and in March this year my Uncle Pawel suffered from an acute episode of paranoid psychosis that tragically led him to take his own life in June this year. 💔❤️‍🩹 To raise more awareness, and get us talking. For the month of October I will be aiming to walk 200km to not only raise money for a great cause but to create and spread awareness about mental illness and to try remove the stigma associated with it.
