Very inspirational, and the kind of story that has kept me on DFW and other relevant boards all these years.

I was glad to hear that Martin is to make this such a focus via a 'mental health and debt policy institute'. There is still far to go in this area.

As a DFW I get the impression there are many of us on the board who are constantly battling with the dual bedfellows of debt and mental health issues. I too am so pleased that Martin is going part - time (he once answered an email of mine at 5 to midnight!) and focusing more on these issues.
