Australia Down for Depression - Charity Drive 2012

Australia Down for Depression is a charity drive aimed at raising awareness for depression and those suffering from the illness here in Australia.

The key objective is to successfully drive from Cairns to Hobart ( 5000kms ) in a 1959 Austin Healey Sprite and to create an education short film documenting the journey to help explain depression to others.

Message from Luke:

I just wanted to take the time before i start this drive south to thank everyone that has supported this idea, jumped onboard, sponsored and helped kick start the awareness program that this drive was designed to undertake.

You've made this so much easier on me than the last time we did it. Your support has meant i could concentrate on getting the car ready, planning the fuel stops and meeting points and also put a lot of time into planning how the documentary will unfold.

The next 6000kms will be exciting, dangerous and sometimes very hard. Knowing you watching the updates and sharing the page, coming to the meeting points and telling others about depression means the world to me.

See you soon, whereever our paths cross. x Luke Lukess
