My Appeal
I will be cycling for the International Association for Suicide Prevention Cycle Around the Globe event. From Sept 10, Suicide Prevention Day, till Oct 10th cyclists around the world will attempt to cycle a combined distance that will circle the globe. This is in an effort to raise awareness of the impact of suicide and fund the prevention programs going on around the world.
As someone who’s a suicide survivor and struggles with depression, I know all too well the darkness and suffering. I continue to struggle with it even now. I’ve loss a couple of friends to suicide throughout my life and it deeply affected me. At the beginning of this year I lost an amazing friend to suicide. Mitzi touched and inspired so many people with her love and helping nature. I pledge to cycle 400 kilometers in her honor.
