Joe's 100 miles for Mental Health

By Joe Simonella

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

Hey all, 

On the 19th of June I will be running from Nowra to Clovelly (172km) to raise awareness for mental health and fundraise for for R U OK? to help spread their message about checking in on our mates. 

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.

The route I'll be running: https://www.strava.com/routes/3141198081127258330

For updates on the day of the run some will be posted to my Instagram: joesimonella
