Hi Everyone,
I’ll be participating in a 15km Run for Mental Health Research on Sunday 26th August. This is a fundraising event to raise donations to help and assist all of those with Mental Illness. My mum has suffered with Bipolar Disorder since 1979 following the birth of my sister. For those of you unfamiliar with the disease, Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic depression) is a condition experienced by approximately 2% of people that is characterised by episodes of mania. Mania is an emotional state of heightened reality during which the person may feel extraordinarily energetic, optimistic, self-confident and productive. Persons experiencing mania can often go days without sleeping, busily planning grandiose schemes or indulging in exorbitant shopping sprees. Many people experiencing bipolar alternate between periods of mania and deep depression. This is certainly the case for Mum and she has been battling this for 33 years. She takes at least 10 tablets daily to try and manage the condition and in total, we estimate that she has spent the equivalent of 7-8 years in hospital.
So, please donate and help me raise funds through doing this run to raise awareness and to help people like my Mum.
Run for Mental Health Research!
Mental illness remains one of the most complex and challenging areas of health practice. It affects one in five Australians.
1/3 of people with mental illness do not respond to standard treatments. For these individuals there are limited treatment options.
This event raises awareness and understanding of mental illnesses such depression, bipolar and schizophrenia. It also aims to raises funds to help find new treatments for these debilitating illnesses.
Please support me and this event by making a donation. All proceeds are given to the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc) who research innovative new treatments, discover new diagnostic tools and improve service delivery for people with mental illness.
By supporting this event, you can help mend minds!
Thanks for your donation!!
