Running Berlin for Rethink Mental Illness
Fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness
Fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness
Friends, In September 2024, I will run the Berlin Marathon along with my daughter Lila to raise funds for "Rethink" Mental illness
In applying for an entry ticket, I choose Rethink as my charity of choice due to the importance of mental health for everyone. We all have been impacted by mental health issues as individuals or through associations with friends and family. Bipolar, depression, anxiety are beyond prevalent and do not seem to be going away. 14.3 % deaths worldwide are attributed to Mental health illnesses.
I have attended many events here in Denver, Colorado at the Johnson Center for depression, including workshops on suicide prevention. I have worked with middle school aged female girls to build self-confidence and manage anxiety through wellness coaching and running through Girls on the Run. My current work with RunWildRetreats offers mindfulness focused international running retreats for all women. As a certified yoga instructor, I believe there are methods and lifestyle tools that can assist with mental struggles and I would love to contribute towards the momentum of healthy change.
The mission of "Rethink" is to improve the lives of those affected by severe mental health issues. They support tens of thousands of people every year to get through crises, live independently and feel that they do not have to face mental illness alone. Their 200 plus services include everything from supported housing to resettlement work in prisons, one-to-one help for carers, to group activities for people leaving hospital.
With your support, we can make a difference together.
Rethink is based in London and I have committed to a fundraising goal of £1,250, equivalent to $1,600. Every donation counts, and just like you, every donation matters.
Thank you for your consideration and support.
Join me in this journey towards better mental health for all.
with love and gratitude always,
Liz Arnold
