Former V8 Supercars driver Renee Gracie strips off to raise money for a mental health charity 

She ditched her career as a V8 Supercars driver to become one of Australia’s most successful subscription-based adult stars.

And on Thursday, it was announced that Renee Gracie is taking her clothes off for a good cause this October, with the aim of raising $10,000 for mental health charity The Black Dog Institute.

The 26-year-old has set up a charity fundraising option on her OnlyFans page, with prizes – including downloadable photos, screensavers and signed posters – given to anyone who makes a donation.

A good cause! On Thursday, it was announced that former V8 Supercars driver Renee Gracie will be taking her clothes off for a good cause this October, with the aim of raising $10,000 for mental health charity The Black Dog Institute

The fundraiser is open now, and will run until October 31 2021. 

‘I’ve wanted to raise money for charity for some time. So I asked my social media followers to suggest what sort of cause they wanted to help,’ Renee said.

‘Most if not all of my followers are male. Many are former soldiers who suffer from PTSD. They chose mental health.

‘I suggested a number of mental health charities and the overwhelming winner chosen by my fans was the Black Dog Institute.’

The Black Dog Institute is a not-for-profit organization and focuses on research, early prevention and treatment of mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Serena Williams threw her support behind the Australian mental health charity in March, after praising her friend Meghan Markle for speaking out about her own suicidal thoughts.

While the company helps any person of any age, Renee said she aims to put a spotlight on men’s mental health to help reduce the ‘stigma in talking about it.’

The charity is a perfect fit, Renee adds, because October is also depression and mental health awareness month.

‘It’s a great cause,’ Renee added. ‘The Black Dog Institute does so much good work and we should all try to support them whenever we can.

‘So often, men’s mental health is overlooked because of the perceived stigma in talking about it and coming across as vulnerable, but this is changing and has to change.

‘I can’t think of a better way to join my fans as well as in thanking them by raising funds, as well as putting a spotlight on men’s mental health during Mental Health month.’
