From William Cook

For the month of September, I will be sporting a mullet and raising funds to show support for mental health research. Mullets for Mental Health is a fundraiser started by the Black Dog Institute to raise money and awareness about mental health more specifically in men. Hopefully, by helping this great organisation we can fund crucial mental health research and create a healthier mental world. 1 in 5 Australians experience symptoms of a mental health illness and 60% of those people won’t reach out for support.

Many of you may be wondering why a future leader like myself would have such an awful haircut, however this isn’t just because I feel like it or because I want to. It is because I want to express my passion for helping people who are in need and supporting those who have lost loved ones.

Please see the link below to my donations page, if you would like to contribute to this great cause, any amount will go a long way and would be greatly appreciated. Mental health is an ongoing challenge in our society – so please check in on your mates and family around you.
