On 28th October, Knox O'Connor (OR2023) will be hosting a fundraiser at the Glenmore Hotel before his 105km run to raise awareness and support for those living with chronic mental illness. "A Run for My Mate" involves running 30 laps around Sydney's Centennial Park for each of the 30 Aussies we lose to suicide each week between the ages of 15-44 (where suicide is the leading cause of death). 

Inspired by the passing of a teacher, Knox is fundraising for the Black Dog Institute because of the critical work they're doing in research, treatment, and advocacy, particularly in the area of treatment-resistant mental illness. All are welcome to come along on the night or if you would like to show your support, please click on this link to donate: https://www.teamblackdog.org.au/fundraisers/knoxoconnor
