Michael's Story
Michael fundraised for Black Dog Institute to honour the memory of his friend, Tyson and help support others impacted by mental illness.
Michael acknowledges that with the impact of COVID-19 restrictions it's more important than ever to raise awareness about mental health and support one another. He has been growing his mullet for a year and will let it go for Mullets for Mental Health at the end of September.
"While it’s become a part of me, the time has finally come to shave it all off in order to help raise money for the Black Dog Institute during a time when the battle against mental illness is becoming increasingly difficult," Michael said.
