A Puzzle For Mental Health
*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Thrilled today to be able to share with you Thomas Snyder's latest sudoku which is called 3/25 (note the date!). Thomas will be known to many of you as the man behind gmpuzzles.com and/or the three-time World Sudoku Champion and former World Puzzle Champion. He's also been very open about his recent struggles with mental health and he's determined to open the dialogue around this subject and avoid the taboo. We salute a brave friend and wish him all the best with his recovery.
You can play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Along thermometers, digits must increase from the bulb end.
If you are in a position to help, Thomas has suggested the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI):

The puzzle will be published on gmpuzzles too at this link:
