As we pause to remember the men and women killed in combat, we choose also to remember the soldiers lost to suicide and mental ill health.   To soldiers and to the friends and family of soldiers, we pause to acknowledge you today, to say that you matter. The things you’ve seen, the things you’ve...

Today is World Mental Health Day. That means it has been 11 years since we put the words Cars For Hope on the side of our Honda Integra and went racing to tell the story of our friend Annabel. Was it messed up that Annabel didn’t want to get better? That she didn’t want to...

Today marks 9 years of Cars For Hope. There have been some remarkable things that have happened along this journey to drive the end of mental health stigma, but I’d like to share this story. This photograph is me at 19 at a car meet on the rooftop of Fox Studios in Sydney with my...

My name is Berty (I’m the one on the far right). I went to school at Cecil Hills High School. I have a best friend… at least I used to. Cecil Hills is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it’s a lot like your world, maybe it’s nothing like it. But if you...

A new friend was asking me some questions about Cars For Hope last week, and she asked what’s surprised me the most over the last couple years. I thought for a minute because it’s a good question, and because there’s been a lot of surprises. I told her that the most surprising part has been to see...

It was pretty cool to wake up this morning and read an article from Car Throttle based on #THEORANGEEFFECT EOMM for Self Injury Awareness Day.

Cars For Hope began as a way to tell the story of our friend, Annabel. It was our way to remind her that she matters and we love her. She was growing up and starting to figure out how our world works, how our world thinks, and what our world thinks is important. For a...

I remember the day my phone rang. I was on the train on my way home from university. I had received a few messages from my friend Annabel. But there was one message from her that really stood out. The way I see it is everyone is asking me to push through all of this...

Shane Koyczan was bullied a lot when he was a kid. So he took that pain and made this stunning video with the help of some amazingly talented people. He wrote “To This Day”, a spoken word poem, to further explore the profound and lasting impact that bullying can have on an individual. He believes...

It seems like it was only yesterday when I wrote this short message about how we are human. About how we wake to the human condition of living with problems of pain. How we would have encountered battles in the year 2012. Little or big. We would all have faced up to a few battles....
