The Stories Behind 4 of batyr's Sydney Marathon Runners
Training for a marathon asks a lot of you. Months of early alarms. Long runs when you'd rather stay in bed. Pushing through discomfort, doubt and fatigue. So why do it? For some of this year’s TCS Sydney Marathon runners, the answer isn't simply to cross

For many young #FirstNations people, wellbeing is deeply connected to the things that make them feel grounded, supported & proud of who they are. ❤️🖤💛 Supporting young people is about creating the conditions where they can grow, connect and thrive. #youthmentalhealth

Only 1% of the mental health budget goes to prevention. Young people say they often have to reach crisis point to get support - that’s not good enough. We’re calling for 5% to go to prevention. If we want to reduce mental ill-health & suicide, we need to act earlier 💙🐘
