I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

This July, 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.

As many of you would know, I've battled with mental health issues for most of my life, and have survived a number of suicide attempts. Needless to say, this is a cause close to my heart.

I'm going to try walking 50km this month, to raise  awareness and much-needed funds to this noble organization. I've always been open about talking about my struggles, and if my participation in K’s for R U OK? achieves nothing more than encouraging someone to speak up, that's a huge win in my book.

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.
