2XU Wellness Run Proudly Supports Beyond Blue
Did you know that over 3 million people in Australia experience depression or anxiety? As Australia’s most well-known and visited mental health organisation, Beyond Blue has worked with the community for over 20 years to improve mental health and prevent suicide, so that all people in Australia can achieve their best possible mental health.
Register to run and use your fundraising page to motivate your network and raise funds for Beyond Blue!
Every dollar you raise helps fund Beyond Blue’s 24/7 Support Service which gives every person in Australia the opportunity to talk through their concerns with a trained mental health professional via phone, webchat or email.
People who access the service can receive a brief one-on-one counselling session to address an immediate concern, as well as receive information and advice on continuing to seek support.
