Todd’s walk from depression

My name is Todd Grieve and I live with depression, for so long I let it define me and ultimately break me. I refused to speak up and ask for help and it’s cost me everything. Now I’m telling my story and asking the right people for help and it’s changed my life. So many people don’t get the support they need and end up choosing the only option they think they have left. I found the people with the skills to help me become the person I know I can be, I’m embracing the positives and learning to handle the negatives. I could have easily been a suicide statistic if I hadn’t found the right people and resources. Now I’ve chosen life over ending life

Now I’ve decided to raise money for Gumboot Friday so everyone in my position can have access to the right people and resources.

One thing that has always made me feel calm and relaxed, and stopped my head from going a million miles a minute is walking around my happy place, the Allenton rugby club. So this Gumboot Friday that’s what I’ll be doing, only this time I’ll be wearing gumboots and walking for 24 hours. Please give if you can, any amount will make a difference. And if you’re suffering please talk to someone, if you think you have no one to talk to then ring me.

There is always hope

You are enough

If you need someone to talk to, you can always get in touch with me via my Instagram - link below.
