I’m Clocking K’s for R U OK?

Every year we want to be a better person the best person, but every year someone in our network is going through something huge! Something that we have no idea about.

Something that makes their eyes water and makes them feel the feels of life. Everyone has a rock to break and ache in their heart. And they feel so alone. 

Someone may be talking about them but not to them. Someone may be listening to rumours that aren’t true! In all of this..This year is your year to help, be there, be present to ask, to not listen to others and to make a difference... to reach out to that person in hospital, when they feel alone, to check in on someone who is hurting with rumours and to make the difference. Ask those around you “ruok?”

This year four years later from my last effort, 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.

But most importantly you should ask you people…”Are you OK? Take the time, ask, then wait for them to respond.

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.
