My cousin Paul (that's him in the yellow) is kayaking from Melbourne to Tasmania to raise awareness and fund the Black Dog Institute’s Bipolar Disorder research program. Bipolar Disorder affects between 3 – 5% of the global population. It creates mayhem in people’s lives regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, and is believed to be the 3rd leading cause of death among people aged 15 – 24. I cannot begin to fathom this great task and wish all of the Paddledogs safe traveling mercies and bon voyage! Feel free to make a donation here and be sure to follow up on their journey at the Paddledog's website.
