A GROUP of university medical students will cycle a massive distance next month to help those with mental illness.<\/p>\n

Joey Coote and a team of his fellow Deakin students will cycle from Geelong to Fremantle in November to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute.<\/p>\n

The institute focuses on transnational research that combats mental illnesses and the stigma that surrounds them.<\/p>\n

The team is aiming to raise $30,000, but Mr Coote says this is only part of what they are looking to achieve.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to get our contacts talking about mental illness and trying to reduce the stigma that\u2019s attached to it in the hope that people struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses are able to chat about it with people they\u2019re close to so they can seek help before things get really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Coote also noted that mental illness is severely underfunded in the world of medical research, hence the team\u2019s decision to give the funds to the Black Dog Institute.<\/p>\n

The journey from Geelong to Fremantle will see them cover about 3,300 kilometres.<\/p>\n

Nearly all of the participants are Torquay residents. Many have their own personal reasons for raising funds and awareness for mental illness.<\/p>\n

Mr Coote himself has been motivated by the tragic consequences of mental illness, having lost two uncles to suicide in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just been kind of scary, because their fight with depression was largely unknown to the rest of the family and people that they were close with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt enlightened me to the insidious nature of it and the fact that it\u2019s so poorly understood and poorly accepted to the point where my uncles weren\u2019t able to share that information about how down they were to those they were closest with.\u201d<\/p>\n
