Mark & Bron's Sober October

By Bronwyn Donnelly

Help me support the mental health of young people

We are having a 'Sober October' and raising funds and awareness for headspace to support the mental health and wellbeing of young Australians.

Each year, one in four young people experience a mental health issue, and 75 per cent of mental health disorders emerge before a person turns 25. Sadly, suicide is still the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.

headspace provides mental health services to young people 12 to 25 online, by phone and through headspace centres in metro and regional areas across Australia.

Please help me make a difference in the lives of young Australians by donating today.

1 week down 👍

Sunday 8th Oct
Week one done and dusted! Mark's not feeling 100% so I think that's actually helped as he hasn't been feeling too much like a beer.  Looking good so far though 💪

Day 1

Sunday 1st Oct
Sober October has arrived! Big thanks to everyone who has donated so far!

Mark is making beer today in anticipation of the 1st November- still in his Collingwood PJs after their win yesterday 😆.

Wish us luck 🤞

Our why

Tuesday 19th Sep
Mark and I decided to set ourselves a bit of a challenge and go 'sober in October'. 

We thought it might also be a good idea to use the challenge to raise some funds and awareness of Headspace and the work they do to support the mental health and wellbeing of young people in Australia. As the parents of 2 teenage boys we believe it's important  to teach them good mental health habits, and letting them know about health care options available should they ever need to use them. Headspace also has offices locally in both Burnie and Devonport.

If you are able to give just a few dollars to the cause please do, or share the link around to help us create awareness. Thank you 😊
