all for the cause - Mr & Mrs Smith & Power Living Manly for The Black Dog Insitute

We are proud to be supporting the the Power Living Community in Manly as it holds it's a fundraiser event this coming Saturday 28th May 2011. The event is raising money for a worthy cause and deserving charity; the Black Dog Institute for depression, bipolar and metal illness.

The Black Dog Institute (BDI) is an educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in mood disorders - a range of disorders that include depression and bipolar disorder. The Institute is attached to the Prince of Wales Hospital and affiliated with the University of New South Wales. Formally launched in February 2002, it builds on the work of its predecessor, the Mood Disorders Unit, established 17 years earlier as a state-wide clinical research facility. Black Dog Institutes mission is to advance the understanding, diagnosis and management of the mood disorders by continuously raising clinical, research, education and training standards. In so doing, the Institute aims to improve the lives of those affected - and in turn - the lives of their families and friends.

We all love a good party, and no one deserves it more than you guys!

Special Guest Speakers:

 •                Matthew Johnstone from The Black Dog Institute: Artist, writer (not to mention saint:) Matthew Johnstone, a sufferer himself, has written and illustrated moving and uplifting insights into what it is like to have a Black Dog as a companion. He shows that strength and support that can be found within and around us to tame it. Black Dog can be a terrible beast, but with the right steps can be brought to heel.

   •                Niki Andronicus from Organicus. There was a decade where Nici Andronicus fought hard to compete as one of the best few in the world at the gruelling sports of triathlon and modern pentathlon. However racing for Australia was just the warm up for the battle to save her husband Paul from a rare and nasty cancer, learning quickly about organic food. With her husband’s survival and their five children as inspiration for health, Nici has built an organic food business, working towards a goal of sharing clean, honest, organic food to people everywhere.

   •                Black Dog Ambassador and World Champion elite swimmer Brendan Capell. Brendan is a young man passionate about giving back, a legend in and out of the Ocean.
