Raising $$ for Suicide Prevention & Awareness

I'm running in the 2017 Auckland Marathon to raise money for suicide prevention. In both my personal life, and in my work with rangatahi, I've seen and felt the effects of suicide and the lack of support and resources available to those who need it the most.

Suicide has effected so many of us and it fucking sucks.

I'm raising money for Key to Life, an NGO who aim to create a bigger awareness of suicide and mental health. KTL do awesome mahi in schools & communities throughout NZ, giving youth a space to talk about their experiences and bring hope during what can be a time of feeling isolated and lost. We need to start talking about these things, connect to one another & other services if we are going to challenge the dominant discourses of MH and suicide in Aotearoa.

I'm raising 50c for every km I run from May until the race. Thank you friends & whanau xx
