Suicide awareness and prevention and mental health awareness is something i hold extremely close to my heart. Last week one of my closest family members was a victim of attempted suicide. My little sister thankfully survived and remained in the care of the hospital thereafter, and is now home recovering with the close care of family and friends. Had my sister known about the rescources and help available yo her, she may not have felt so isolated and alone, talking to someone about your personal problems can be daunting and scary, and not everyone finds it easy. If victims of attempted suicide and mental health problems are aware of the ways they can be helped, the number of casualties will fall.

MIND is a charity that supports, raises awareness and respect for people suffering from mental health problems and suicide awareness. This is the charity me and my younger sister will be raising money for. We will be doing fundraising events, collaborating with local businesses and raising money to support the charity and raise awareness as much as we can about mental health and suicide.

I will also be taking part in a SKYDIVE to raise as much money as possible, and amazingly, when my little sister Is feeling better, will be participating with me!

So many people suffering in silence are unaware of the ways we can help. I want my campaign to reach as many people as possible and make those suffering aware that we want to help them, and want to make a difference! Please, even if its a small amount, help us make a difference to so many lives!
