It is very encouraging to be presented with such a generous donation.” Black Dog Institute was unable to attend on the day. Alison Duxbury from Anna Bay Tavern Fishing Club acknowledged a response from Black Dog Institute that said, “Thank you on behalf of the Black Dog Institute, be assured the funds you have donated will go towards research into development and expanding new interventions for clinical and education programs across metropolitan and regional Australia.” There is someone who will listen – Lifeline 13 11 26.
