It's been a journey
I've had my own personal struggles with mental health, I lost a very close friend at a young age to suicide, battled my own demons and then only recently lost another friend (Blake) to the same battle.
The real sad part is, is that all this could've been prevented.
Being part of a cause such as this, enables us to advertise the many support networks available to people struggling with mental health.
Unfortunately for my young friend (Michael), he had nowhere to turn, but we have come such a long way and we have many options and now it's all about encouraging people to make the call, book the appointment or to just ask for help.
So I'm doing this to let you know, I'm here to help and it's ok to say, I'm not ok.
I'm also doing this because of 1 guy in the background photo, Blake who is no longer with us.
Oh, and the guy in the profile photo, I don't recon Tom knows what a push up is!
Please join with me in this great cause.
Churchy
