    Unforuntate loss of sister meant I had a bit to do with Beyond Blue a few years back. Although they receive some govt funding, it's doesn't compare to the funding for road deaths which statistically doesn't come near the loss of life that can be attributed to mental illness / depression. 8/8 is the anniversary of her passing, will definately be heading down for it. Well done Doodle for organising!
