Move for mental health

Move for Mental Health!

I’m using my time at home to "Move for Mental Health"  to help R U OK? spread their message and help prevent suicide.

We are living through such strange and challenging times, and a lot of people are not ok. I am not an active person, but I’ve found any form of exercise has helped me during one of the many lockdowns in Australia. 

Every day leading up to R U Ok? Day on the 9th of September, I will be doing some form of exercise, whether it's a virtual workout, jogging, yoga or even backyard basketball.

I'm not an overly active person, so if I can share my daily routines, raise money and connect with someone who may be struggling, that is all the motivation I need to start moving! 

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.
