Sole Mates - Joe and Fi are taking Sydney by storm
Story
We're taking part in the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival 2014, and hoping to raise much needed funds for the Black Dog Institute.
In September, we'll be completing a half marathon over the Harbour Bridge, around Sydney's CBD and finishing on the Opera House steps.
Mental illness is very common. One in five Australians aged 16-85, experience a mental illness in any year. The most common of these are depression, anxiety and substance abuse. It is estimated that one in four young people live with a mental illness, with people aged 18-24 years accounting for the highest prevalence of mental illnesses of any other age group, and youth suicide is the leading cause of death in young people aged 15-24 years.
The Black Dog Institute is dedicated to improving the lives of Australians affected by mental illness. We're hoping to raise money to support the work that they do, running education programs, providing training programs for health professionals and workplaces, and helping people to recognise the symptoms of mental illnesses in not only themselves, but their loved ones.
Thanks for your support, and helping us make a difference!

Black Dog Institute
Black Dog Institute
One in five Australians are affected by mental illness each year.
Mental illness can be overwhelming, crippling and isolating.
The Black Dog Institute is a not-for-profit organisation and world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder and suicide.
We are the only mental health facility in Australia that combines clinical services, high quality translational research and education programs. We work to empower communities and help the stigma surrounding mental illness.
The Black Dog Institute has 4 important goals:
to diagnose mental illness accurately and early,
treat them using innovative, effective and accessible strategies,
prevent their onset by understanding why and who they affect
to reduce the overall impact of mental illness and save lives.
Black Dog Institute’s vision is for a mentally healthier world.
A world where the onset of depression and suicide can be prevented and treated. With your help we can make this vision a reality.
