How can you get involved and help to save lives?
There any many ways in which you can get involved, but here are 3 simple ones:
1. Donate. This is probably the most obvious way to get involved, but if you're able to donate, it can quite literally make the difference between life and death! Every penny will go to charities on the front line, working with those with mental health challenges.
2. Get Involved! If you're nearby, you're invited to come and get involved in any of the challenges. You can do the whole challenge, or a part of it, it's entirely up to you. If you're further afield, feel free to make your own challenge to get involved and help raise awareness!
3. Be a Cheerleader! Being on the sidelines and showing any amount of support goes a long long way! Again, if you're physically nearby, come and cheer on the participants in the challenges. If you can't get to an event, sharing social media posts and spreading awareness can make all the difference.
Thank you so much for any and all help and support so far, it really is a game changer.
