I'm fundraising for a great cause!

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. (Genuine connection with others is so important….)

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 (and / or who are lonely)  to feel connected long before they even think about suicide. 

Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.

** For those wondering, I  now do 3 main fundraisers for mental health/ suicide prevention  per year including now this wonderful  ‘Ks for RU Ok’ all July; also Lifeline’s ‘Out of the Shadows Walk’ in September, and the Black Dog Institute’s ‘One Foot Forward’ throughout October.  I don’t apologies  for fund raising as having a sister and a brother due from this preventable condition, I will do anything I can to help fight the black dog. Thank you for reading at least**
