Sophie’s Run for Mental Health

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

Hello everyone,

Next May I’m going to be running a half marathon to close the chapter on my long journey with mental illness. Until next May I’ll be training almost everyday. Since I’m already doing this for my own personal celebration of what I’ve overcome, I have decided to run for 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. 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. I want to help release the shame around talking about mental health. 

Thank you so much for your support, financial or otherwise. Together we will make a difference. 🫶🏼
