Hi there, 

As some of you may or may not be aware, I have been affected by mental health and suicide with losing very close friends, family and very importantly my Dad 16 years ago. 

I personally have had some bad times dealing with the outcome of someone taking their own life. When a loved one takes their own life, it has a huge impact on all the people around them.

One in four young people have experienced a mental health issue in the past 12 months – a higher prevalence than all other age groups. Suicide is the leading cause of death of young people and accounting for one third of all deaths.

Research shows that 75 per cent of mental health issues emerge before the age of 25. By treating these issues early and providing a holistic model of support, the risk of them developing into more serious problems is greatly decreased.

My aim to is to try and help as many people as possible, to spread the message that it is ok, to not be ok. I want to be able to encourage people to talk about problems, and feel able to admit they are struggling, and be able to find help.

I have decided to make a difference by creating my very own fundraising appeal for charity. I will be participating in Stadium Stomp 2018 this winter and will be climbing thousands of stairs within the SCG for my chosen charity “Headspace”.

I would love it if you support my efforts by making a secure donation. I would also really appreciate it if you could share my page above or comment below so more people know about it.

Together, we can make a change.
