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.

In 2022 I completed this challenge to raise money for a great cause that I was passionate about.  Fast forward to this year and I’m the one that is needing the mental health support  due to a PTSD diagnosis from 10 years in emergency services. 

Each week I'll be consistent in my clocking as I walk/run 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.

I believe that raising money and taking part in K’s for RUOK helped me gain the skills to recognize when I was struggling. 

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.

My reason is to show up for my kids and be the best version of myself that I possibly can, for them. 

If you are in a position to donate, please do. And give people a chance to find their reason.
