Cardiff Foxes
Cardiff Foxes do the Cardiff Half
Fundraising for bigmoose
Story
We are Cardiff's LGBTQ+ running group and this year we will be raising money for bigmoose as part of our Cardiff Half Marathon run.
Bigmoose is a charity with a clear goal, to leave the world better than we found it. Their focus is on our 3 point plan: helping those struggling with their mental health; the prevention of suicide; the prevention of homelessness.
The Cardiff Foxes (Cadnawon Caerdydd) are a friendly and welcoming group that holds weekly social runs for Cardiff's LGBTQ+ community. IG:
From BigMoose:
During lockdown, we were providing therapy for lots of people and were told by five people that without our intervention they would have ended their lives. Due to early and impactful intervention 5 people were still alive. 5 families weren't grieving and the world still had these amazing humans in it. We listened to people's stories & one thing that we kept hearing was that the therapy & intervention that people needed was taking too long and was inaccessible for so many. And so, just like that, project 1 million was born. throughout 2022 we are aiming to raise £1,000,000 which will be used to provide therapy and early intervention for people. This is a huge goal and we cannot do it alone. Our goal is to help people with their mental health, prevent suicide and reduce homelessness. we will achieve our goal and we will save lives. in 2020, 5224 people killed themselves in England and Wales. this project will help to reduce this number. we hope you will join us.
