Story
Its that time of the year again - September is the Black Dog Institute's EXERCISE YOUR MOOD MONTH.
The aim of the program is to increase community awareness of the importance of regular exercise for maintaining good mental health. The Black Dog Institute is a leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder and suicide. For more information on the program click the following link.

We have put together a couple of teams of 6 swimmers to take on the Maui Channel Swim, a tough 15.85km swim. With six swimmers per team, each swimmer swims half-hour legs until all team members have raced. Then each swimmer swims a 10-minute leg until they cross the finish line. The grand prize goes to the first team to finish.
What makes this race so interesting is that the navigation and currents can be a deciding factor. The fastest, strongest team does not always finish first! We are looking to be competitive again this year, so fingers crossed we can put the message out there.
We have a great line up of swimmers including a couple of Olympians from Rio, and a couple of English Channel swimmers. Last year one of the Blackdog Teams set the all time quickest race time for the swim which is in its 45th year. We have:
Peter Thiel, Jarrod Poort, Wes Roberts, Wally Eggleton, George O'Brien and Ollie Signorini in Team Blackdog Tattersalls Masters and
Peter Joseph, Millie Joseph, Tori Gorman, Joe Dickson, Phil Reichelt and Anna Torok in Team Blackdog Too
We are looking to raise some money for the Black Dog Institute to support the great work they do!!
All Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Black Dog Institute, and all donations over $2 are tax deductible. We will send you a receipt for your tax records.
Thanks so much for your support!

to diagnose mental illness accurately and early,

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.
