Help me take on the World's Coolest Readathon!

Help me support the mental health of Australian Heroes

I am proud to participate in the Brothers and Books fundraiser this year as mental health is close to my heart and family and I know first-hand the effects for all involved.

Whilst many of my friends know I am a little bookworm who at times can be lost in the world beyond the pages for hours at a time.

My Why stems not just from my nursing career but from my family's battle with mental health. We have watched our youngest child struggle with Mental health issues throughout the years, and 'fall through the cracks' in the health care system due to his age and 'state of presentation'. Over the years this had caused increased stressors on the family, whilst also becoming our normal, with constantly being at a heightened state of awareness.

So for me this and it’s something that needs to be talked about more.  We don’t need to battle it alone, and asking for help is OK.  

As a Nurse and a current serving ADF member, I am especially passionate about making change for defence veterans, police force and emergency services with complex PTSD. 

I am delighted to be part of this initiative.  Please consider making a donation should you be able to support these courageous people through their tough times.
