Megan Jackson’s ‘Crazy Idea’: Pucker Up, Robert Pattinson!

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Megan Jackson launched EmsCharityKiss late last May to tell Robert Pattinson just that. Wait, let's back up for a minute. Who's Megan Jackson? What's she doing for mental health awareness? And how does kissing Robert Pattinson play into any of it? Simply put, Megan Jackson is one of the most courageous young women I've met in a long time. You see, after dealing with depression for the past ten years and, by her own admission, spending a lot of time trying to avoid attention, the lovely Australian not only had what she calls "one crazy idea," but she's also thrown caution to the wind and taken action to make her idea a reality. The idea? To start EmsCharityKiss, a campaign geared toward increasing mental health awareness and raising money for research. The "crazy" part? She hopes the campaign will not only draw attention to mental health advocacy and help raise money for research, but also that it will catch the attention of the heart stopping (and in more ways than one, depending on whether he's in Cullen mode) Robert Pattinson who will then, if all goes according to plan, give Megan her first kiss.

Super Rich And Physically Dominant? Mental Illness Doesn’t Care.

How would you react if you found out your favorite athlete was struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other mental health condition? In a recent Wall Street Journal article, Professional Baseball Faces Loaded Issue: Mental Health, Shirley Wang states: Some fans might not feel much sympathy for the psychological burdens of professional baseball players -- athletes who typically earn huge salaries to do what many people would consider a dream job. Sadly, that's probably true for many people - and not just of how they feel when they find out a professional athlete is anxious or depressed. Some people feel the same way when they find out other well-paid current and former athletes (like Ricky Williams, Herschel Walker, and others listed in Wang's articles) as well as rich actors, actresses, musicians, and other entertainers suffer from mental health problems. It's as if the general population believes not only that money can fix everything, but also that people who have money have no reason to to feel anything but happy. After all, they're rich, right? They're famous, and everyone loves them, right? If they're feeling down they can just buy something to make them happy or make some special appearance and listen to the crowds roar for them, right? What a joke.
