Just another life suddenly lost

[Plunge Penguin]

A very, very sad loss. Tragic that a young lady, seemingly with so much to live for, has left the world in this manner. It highlights why it is so desperately important that the winning party in the upcoming election continues to provide beyondblue with as much funding as possible to help them maximise their stretched resources.
