If you see this man out on the road, stop and give him a hug and take a moment to listen to his cause. 💜

Lenny Deacon is cycling around Australia to raise $1 million for Breakthrough, supporting urgent mental health research. He is currently in WA.

Inspired by the loss of his best mate Dippa, Lenny has taken on the incredible challenge of cycling across the country. Along the way he’s stopping in country towns, pubs, and campsites to talk with people, share stories, and help break the stigma around mental health.

He says he’ll keep going for as long as it takes.💪

If you feel inspired like we do, please check out his page “Doin It For Dippa” or consider donating to his page. bit.ly/4pGIAIV

This we are celebrating the incredible women who do so much in their work to improve mental health 💜

An overwhelming majority of the Breakthrough team are women, including Brooke Dew, Sharn Elder, Jade Spicer, Magda Pearce, Susannah Norris, Leesa Scanlan and Ava Elder-Steele. These ladies bring passion, care and commitment to securing funding for vital mental health research, as well as organising community and wellbeing events that support so many people living silently with mental illness.

We’re also proud to acknowledge the many women who power Breakthrough more broadly, from those serving on our board and research committee, to the outstanding professors, researchers, mental health clinicians and volunteers helping drive progress across the sector.

Today we recognise all women, in their many roles as leaders, colleagues, parents, partners and friends, who show up every day to support the wellbeing of those around them.

Flash back to a fantastic night last week, supporting our partner Metcash at the IGA Retailer Awards 2026! 🙌
Together we sold hundreds of Peter Shearer Menswear Head First Socks and raised over $3,500 for Breakthrough, with all proceeds funding vital mental health research.
Big thanks to our incredible Beyond Bank volunteers, who generously gave their time to support us on the night.
Community at its best. 💜

We believe prevention should come before crisis.
Mental health deserves the same urgency as physical health.💜
