S3E2 It's time we had a serious conversation about the S Word - Jack Levitt

Episode 2: Jack Levitt

 

Jack Levitt is a storyteller who looks at life through a lens. As a videographer, he has spent years capturing moments on and off the sporting field for the likes of Cricket Australia, Fox Sport and the Essendon footy club. And as a keen photographer, Jack loves to snap real life moments that tell real stories. He is a deep thinker, a Dad, and a doer, and it’s that last descriptor propelled him to start Flynn’s Walk, after his mate Flynn Hargreaves, an accomplished veterinarian, took his own life. Flynn sadly became part of a damning statistic where vets are four times more likely to die by suicide, and Jack took up the fight to help raise awareness in the community. Through his passion to improve mental health and encourage people to speak out, Jack has been nominated as a Victorian local hero and is also an RUOK? Community Ambassador. His work here is definitely not done. In fact, this may just be the beginning.
