I first heard about SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY in 2014 when Mitch spoke at my high school about losing his younger brother, Ty, to suicide in 2013.
A few years ago, I found myself reflecting on that session I had participated in with Mitch. I was facing some personal challenges and worked through some tough times relating to my mental health which had led me to a place with thoughts of suicide.
Remembering Mitch's message prompted me to reach out to my close circle of people and I found support through talking to them about how I was feeling.
This, together with my love of fitness, performing stand-up comedy, and my passion for running, has helped me completely turn my life around.
Now, I plan to run 110 marathons in 110 days to raise awareness of positive mental health and suicide prevention, encouraging daily challenges and spreading kindness.
I would appreciate your support for my challenge and fundraising efforts.
Please remember to always SPEAK UP!.. and Stay ChatTY.
Great effort Trent; almost to $60k, exceeding your expectation x10! Good on ya.
