I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

This October, I’m joining K’s for R U OK? to stay connected, develop healthy habits and help to create a world where we're connected and protected from suicide.

Each week I'll be consistent in my clocking as I walk (run, wheel or ride) to help start more life-changing conversations. 

By donating to my page you are helping R U OK? provide free, essential resources to schools, workplaces, families, and communities across Australia. Giving them the tools and confidence to spot the signs and to start a conversation that could change the life of someone who's struggling. And you'll be putting a big smile on my face.

Thank you so much.

By inspiring people to take the time to ask “Are you OK?” and listen, we can help people struggling with life to feel connected long before they even think about suicide.

Personal experience

Saturday 4th Oct
Hey,
I have a very personal connection to this cause, I have been in a position where someone asking 'r U ok?' could have prevented failed attempts by myself.
Sometimes all it takes is for 1 person to be brave enough to really ask.
I've struggled for years with mental health issues (It is a daily process), have hit rock bottom (so I thought) and fallen further a few more times after that.

 I work on my wellness with meditation, daily mindfulness activities, coping strategies, mental health groups and supports. I volunteer with the mental health service that helped me to accept that my mental health issues don't have to define or restrain me from being the best version of myself.
The feeling of isolation (even in a room full of people), like no-one cares and hopelessness is not easy to rise above... I am doing k's for R U OK again to raise awareness in the hope not 1 more person feels the only option is suicide.
I am so very grateful I am still here and feel so proud of myself for working so hard to be able to help others and experience what I would have missed.

Thank you to my Sponsors
