Mental Health and Suicide is still a taboo subject in society. People need help without facing persecution from their peers.

I have signed up for the Mental Health and Suicide Awareness in memory of my son Shannon who lost his battle to suicide.
To enable 100% of funds raised at stalls, sausage sizzles I have set up this page to pay for the expenses to cover the costs, In doing this I don't have to keep track of all the receipts and make any deductions.
Any support would be greatly appreciated. Anyone with any great fundraising ideas would also be appreciated. Please feel free to share with anyone you know would support this worthy cause.

Some people have had trouble with the link. It seems to work best from mobile apps or through the chrome browser.
I have my place in team two, to go to Peru and walk the Inca Trail in September 2019. The goal of the team is to raise $80,000.
I have signed up at Vertex High Altitude training for a monthly check in and two months intense training prior to departure.

Every little bit helps as does talking about mental health issues. Spread the word.
Travel, expenses, training funds and fund raising costs so that 100% of funds raised goes mental health.
Any surplus will be given to Suicide Awareness and Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse Trust.
All donations I raise on this page will help us raise funds for materials for making jewelry, sausage sizzles etc. which we will be holding to raise funds towards our goal of 4k minimum.

This has been a busy month. I have been able to spread a lot of time crafting as I spend time off work with my husband who has undergone open heart surgery. This leaves us without his income for three months.
My support team have been busy with helping out on a craft and cake stall at work and a sausage sizzle at Rangiora.
From this I have added $2500 to my MHF Challenge Fund. I am extremely proud to be part of this journey and continue to find new crafts to make and sell. It is wonderful to see all the lanyards that are being worn at work knowing they are supports of a great cause.
Thank you so much, ticks off my raising awareness and bucket list Inca Trail. I will be putting this to good use.
