The World Health Organisation has predicted that by the year 2020, Depression will be the second biggest health problem world wide (the number one being heart disease).
Depression isn’t discerning… it has visited famous writers, artists, composers, performers, sports people, politicians, inventors.
I have registered for the Sydney Blackmore’s Half-Marathon 2008, which is on Sunday 21st September, 2008.
This is a personal goal I set at the beginning of the year before I’d even started running, let alone become addicted as I have in the past few months.I would like my run to “stand for” something and have nominated The Black Dog Institute as my preferred charity.
I’d love your support… and invite you to visit this page to “cheer me on” – every little bit helps! In the last week, when I have been tempted to snuggle back into the doona on these cold and rainy early mornings, just knowing that friends and clients have already sponsored me has made me get up and get running.
Posting my intention on the blog will keep me honest, and encourage me to stick with my training program to achieve this goal! Thanks for your support, and I’m excited about helping to “tame the black dog”.
