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. This is something that has impacted me since I was young. I was 13yrs old when I lost my stepdad to suicide. This has shaped me into being the empathetic and supportive woman I am today. Whether it’s family, friends, colleagues or complete strangers it doesn’t take much to ask the question not just on RUOK? Day but ANYDAY! In a world where we can be anything let’s just be kind and ask and listen 🙂
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 young and old 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 💛
Well done Jess 👨🏼👍👍
