In her acceptance speech, she said, "
My love and hate relationship with this has taught me a lot and I want to tell everyone suffering from this that you are not alone. In the time it has taken me to accept this award, the world has lost one more person to suicide.

"Depression is a common yet serious illness. It is important to understand that anxiety and depression are like any other illness and treatable. It was experienced with this illness that encouraged me to set up Live Love Laugh."
