We are honoured to have the legendary Patience Bulk Haulage company as a sponsor for Crossing Australia. Ordinary hard working Australian’s who ‘get it’ when it comes to depression and suicide. When governments and big business have no answers to the cultural crisis of suicide it’s amazing to see who steps up to help. The Crossing Australia venture is all about doing doing something positive and actually creating events in remote communities where we can present hope for a silent and tragic issue. Too many Australian’s lose their lives every year. Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45. In 2014, 4,623 Australian men took their own lives.
We want to thank John and Nola Patience for their support. They know only too well the grief and loss that follows losing someone you love to suicide. We love the words patience and grace together!! That’s what it will take to lovingly help those struggling with the ‘black dog’ of depression. Thanks again for your support.
