Name: Mark de Jong

​

Why I got involved: I struggled with depression when I was in my late teens and thought about ending it. I had mates who got me through it and kept me going. I then again went through a rough time recently after having 2 spinal fusion surgeries, and my family and mates were always there for me. I want to pay that back and help those who might not be as fortunate as me having such amazing family and mates.
