A group of our Kersbrook CFS members are stepping up to take on True Grit, pushing themselves physically and mentally, all for a cause that matters.
We’re doing it to raise awareness and support for mental health. The reality is tough:
• Around 1 in 5 Australians experience mental ill-health each year.
• Su***de remains one of the leading causes of death for Australians aged 15–44.
These are more than just numbers. They’re our mates, our families, and our communities.
That’s why we’re supporting the Black Dog Institute, an organisation dedicated to improving mental health, preventing su***de, and supporting those doing it tough. Our aim is to raise at least $1000 for Black Dog with your help.
Firefighters see firsthand how important it is to look after not just our physical health, but our mental wellbeing too, and this is one way we’re getting behind that.
If you’re able to, we’d love your support. Any donation, big or small, goes towards making a real difference.
And just as importantly take the time to check in on your mates. A simple conversation can go a long way.
