Christmas Spirit

As we fast approach Christmas and after the tragic news of the passing of Chad Robinson, it reminded me how lucky I was and that I shouldnt take things for granted.

Im not sure whether Chad suffered Depression (likely) but I know this time of year can bring on depression in men as they struggle to meet the expectations of others and provide for their families.

Today I donated to beyond blue and hope that others here may be able to spare a few dollars and do the same. Football players seem to really struggle with the pressure and in particular life after footy.

Remember this Christmas those families who are incomplete because of this terrible illness.
