DIRRAN'S DOING IT FOR YOUR MATES

Carrie Smart -
"After losing 8 mates to suicide in about 3 years, my son Mitch said - Mum, I don't want an 18th birthday, I want to raise money for teenage suicide and mental health.

After driving down the street in our sleepy little town of Dirranbandi, QLD and seeing all the Toyota's - Landcruiser Utes, Landcruiser Wagon's, Landcruiser Prado's, Hilux's we decided to see how many Toyota's we could get in one place at one time."

So with the help of the Dirranbandi Local Ambulance Commitee, Dirran's Doing it for your Mates.

The Dirran's Doing it for your Mates Ute Muster has also teamed up with youth mental health and suicide prevention organisation, ALIVE.

ALIVE is a community-driven organisation of people and partners committed to end youth suicide. Inspiring and supporting young Australians at risk of suicide to feel alive and ultimately choose life through the engagement of our suicide intervention support services and initiatives.

THEIR MISSION is to reduce and ultimately eliminate youth suicide. We are experiencing a frightening epidemic here in Australia, and our aim is to provide education, and intervention where suicide is a risk and prevent it.

THEIR PURPOSE is to work collaboratively as a community providing education to aid suicide prevention and support directly to those young people identified at risk of suicide. Helping them create a life worth living for.

Lets band together and raise awareness and funds for the mental health and resilience building programs that ALIVE facilitate in our Queensland Schools.

The donations will not only help to save lives, but give our future generations the opportunity to THRIVE!
