Help Me Stomp Out Stigma: Supporting Youth Mental Health!

Hey y’all! I'm thrilled to be competing in the Buller Gorge Marathon again for the 3rd year running, fundraising for Gumboot Friday again! An incredible organisation dedicated to providing youth counselling and promoting healthy mental wellbeing. Last year, we raised almost $2000, but this year, I'm aiming higher – $3000!

I know firsthand the devastating impact of mental health struggles. Losing my dad to suicide and several friends to the same darkness has lit a fire within me to make a difference. I'm determined to help create a world where our young people can thrive, free from the shackles of stigma and shame.

Mental health affects us all – yes, even the toughest among us (I'm looking at my mates xox!)! It's time to normalise the conversation and remind everyone that it's absolutely okay to not be okay.

Gumboot Friday is doing phenomenal work, providing accessible counselling services to those who need it most.

Your donation will help:

- Fund essential counseling sessions for young people

- Support the growth of mental health education programs

- Encourage open conversations and stigma-busting initiatives

So, let's stomp out stigma together! Your contribution, big or small, will bring us closer to a future where every young person can flourish with confidence and hope.

Donate, share, chuck your gumboots on, and let's make a difference!
