Linda Bullard, a victim of abuse in state care as a child, has cycled from Waimate to Picton and then took a ferry to deliver a letter to Parliament asking for better mental health care for New Zealanders.
Linda Bullard is a person, not a number. Not a statistic, and not a name on a page. That s what she wanted to prove when she jumped on her bike and set off from Waimate, near Timaru, two weeks ago with no training, destined for Parliament. Her experiences of abuse in state care as a child and into her teens have a profound impact on her life to this day, as she suffers from depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
