David Kelly - Kokoda Trek

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

In April I will be travelling to Papua New Guinea to complete the Kokoda Trek. I have decided to take on this challenge to help R U OK? to spread their message and help prevent suicide.

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.

Wednesday 6th Mar
So far since I started training I've walked 268.47 kms, done hundreds of Squats, Lunges and Sit ups, and thousands of step ups and stairs run. Any support you provide is amazing and keeps my focused on my goal of completing Kokoda and normalising the conversation around mental health. ❤️
