Running 4 Suicide prevention

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.

I'm running on behalf of everyone that has lost someone special to them- because suicide fucking sucks and has effected too many of us.

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 work 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. I know there are so many issues contributing to our huge suicide rates, but we need to start somewhere.

I'm also sponsoring myself 50c for every KM I run from May onward. Thank you friends & whanau xx
