"You can learn more about a person in an hour of play, than a year of conversation" Plato.

I've had the priviledge of "playing" for four years with people who experience mental illness and those who support them. Now it's time to tell the world!
"Play" that comes in the form of camps provided by YMCA Victoria (www.victoria.ymca.org.au/meantalhealthcamps) are increasing the social connectedness and improving the physical quality of life (for example sleeping patterns and activity levels during the day) for people experiencing mental illness. Your donation will help continue this work (www.everydayhero.com.au/cc4mh).

Don't just donate, tell someone else about the camps, play in a park with a friend (by yourself may look suspect), GO CAMPING, be physically active - it's important for your physical and mental health and of course donate again.

What will I do?? well I've conned my partner Cam to ride with me 1,450km around Victoria to various campsites and communities to raise awareness about these wonderful programs. The day we start riding - April 17th, is the weekend of the Great Aussie Camp Out (www.greataussiecampout.org.au)!

Camp n' Cycle for Mental Health will take three weeks plus a lot of leg power, some loss of direction, a pumping heart and saddle sores full of humour - ouch!

Your donation will encourage us to keep going, to know that people do care about mental health and the quality of life for others in the community.

Thank you and till next time
Cheerio!
