Yesterday, on an beautiful Sunday morning in Cape Town, my husband and I participated in the Hope Hike for awareness about depression, to break the silence and to raise funds towards research. We walked 10 kilometers (6,21 miles). We lost our daughter almost nine years ago, and every walk on this hike, was for her. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) next year depression will be the second biggest illness in the world; in 2030 the biggest.

And that talking can often be the very first step to a healing. And it’s such a serious thing, too. Many don’t realize that. Bless you for all you do to break this stigma. ðŸ™ðŸ¦‹ðŸ™

Blessings!
