Raise Your Voice

By Raquel Farah Join Me

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. 

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.

In memory of John Sipidias

Tuesday 8th Feb
In October of 2021, we unfortunately lost someone truly amazing by suicide.

John was a loving husband, son, brother, cousin and friend. He was always putting others before himself, as it was shown in his work as a provisional psychologist, and in his personal life. 

John was funny, talented, intelligent, caring and incredibly handsome - as he was always reminded by the people he surrounded himself with. 

John's death came to a surprise to everyone who knew him, even those who had only met him once or twice. He never showed signs of mental distress, other than the usual stresses of work and living in lockdown in Melbourne. 

His family feel as if they let him down by not asking him if he is REALLY okay, which is why we have decided to host a fundraiser event on his birthday to help raise awareness around the signs of suicide and how to open the conversation with someone you feel needs to have a good chat. 

We thank you in advance for your support, and wish you all a healthy mental well-being!
