Black Dog Institute Collaboration
This design was carefully chosen as the most fitting for a fundraiser that means so much to me. Together, we’re raising awareness and supporting those facing challenges with mental health.
Every T-shirt sold directly contributes to the life-changing work of the Black Dog Institute, making a real impact for those who need it most.
Why I am doing this
As someone who has faced the physical and mental stressors of trauma, I deeply understand the struggle of confronting the Black Dog. I know firsthand the weight it carries and the resilience it takes to keep moving forward. To those still fighting, I want you to know: you are not alone.
