We want to extend our thanks to one of our local boys Jarryd Hayne.

This absolute legend just handed over a $123 000 cheque to Beyondblue in one of his first moves as an ambassador for Norton Internet Security.

For those of you who don’t know, Jarryd Hayne’s been over in America playing with the San Francisco 49ers after leaving the NRL earlier this year.

But being a million miles away hasn’t stopped him in his fight to reduce stigma surrounding mental health illness.

The money will go towards the charity’s work in combating cyberbullying and supporting those who feel threatened online.

“Being so far away from home, the internet and social media is a great way for me to keep in contact with my family, friends and supporters, and stay informed about what’s happening in Australia,” said Hayne.

“I want the internet to be a safe place for everyone and I’m pleased to be partnering with Norton to raise awareness about online security and cyberbullying issues.”

“It’s important we look out for each other, both in the physical and online world, and try to tackle cyberbullying to help improve and potentially save lives.”

Couldn’t have said it any better ourselves Hayne! Keep up the awesome work!
