I'm fundraising for a great cause!
I have decided to fundraise for R U OK? to help spread their message and help prevent suicide. Staying mentally healthy is something I have regularly struggled with and something I strongly believe we should be having more conversations with those around us about because just having one pers o n check on you or offer words of encouragement can change your whole day.
About 8 people take their own lives in Australia every day.
For every death, it’s estimated another 30 people will attempt suicide.
89% of people report knowing somebody who has made an attempt.
I want to help change these numbers.
R U OK?’s vision is of a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide.
Their mission is to inspire everyone to meaningfully connect with the people around them and support anyone struggling with life.
By inspiring people to take the time to ask, “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people who are struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.
Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.
