Story

Hi Guys, my mom Fiona is walking and myself and Bryce are running 100km in October in aid of Pieta House. Those who suffer with mental health go through a profound illness that is often deeply misunderstood. Pieta house offer much needed services such as free counselling, suicide prevention hotlines and so much more to aid all individuals in the difficult task of dealing with their mental health. All their services are provided for free and they would not be able to run if not for the generous donations of the public which is why we are asking for any spare change anyone can offer to be donated to this amazing charity. As many of you know mental health is something that is very close to my heart. The tragedy of untreated mental health issues has touched everyone in our general community but touched my family so closely last year. It is something that you never think will effect anyone you know but once you see it once you realise it is all around you. It is my mission with this run to raise awareness for those who can't speak up yet, for those who are afraid to talk and for those who see no light. Please rememeber after the dark nights always comes the light of the morning, you just have to keep going to find it. Please keep fighting, try talking and REMEMBER, it is ok to not be ok. Sincerely, Jenn, Bryce and Fiona.
