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.
With the whole COVID / Lockdown situation, people don’t know if they’ll be able to pay their mortgages, rent or even put food on the table for their families. This is putting tremendous stress on people and amplifying mental health, sometimes to the point where people can’t see a way forward.
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.
Although my goal is ambitious at $10,000 and I get that we’re all in the same boat at present financially, but please give what you can. It all helps.
Thank you so much for your support, together we will make a difference.
