Recently, I visited the Australian Outback and during my 5 km morning run, I reflected on the mental health issues faced by those living in remote areas of Australia. One of our clients, a psychiatrist, shared with me how they moved to a country town to slow down and retire. However, seeing the demand for their work, they ended up working full-time, contrary to their initial plans. People in rural and remote areas struggle with mental health issues, which tend to be more acute. Anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are common due to factors such as isolation, stigma around seeking help, and limited access to healthcare, leading to an increased risk of suicide. I am running 100 km in October 2024 to support Australians living with mental health illnesses. You can help make a difference by joining our team or sponsoring us. Even a small donation of $5 can make a huge difference. Let's come together to make a positive impact. Every little bit counts!
