RUOK? 4-Hour Roll
I am helping my local Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Club ( Balance BJJ North Lakes) raise money for
R U OK? Day, so that we can spread their message and help prevent suicide.
This is a conversation starter that happens daily on our mats. We see the value of checking in with each other and in building safe and supportive spaces- with hope that it sparks conversation that could change a life.
I will be participating on the day to be on the mats sparring and practising jiu-jitsu for 3.5 straight hours (eek!) in order to help raise funds. So please donate if you can!
I'll try to send updates from 5:30pm-9:00pm if I can
_____________________________________________
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.
