#Rise18

23 South Africans commit suicide daily and there are hundreds of attempts on a daily basis. Losing my father due to depression and suicide has propelled me to SPEAK UP about my experience with the hope of saving others. Follow my journey as I raise awareness and funds for the South African Depression and Anxiety Group. The goal is to raise R180 000 by running 18 races between January and July 2018. My 18th and final race will be the Washie 100 miler: a  26 hours 160 km race which takes places on the 27 & 28 July 2018. To donate, visit www.backabuddy.co.za/rise18. Let's Rise together in demystifying depression and suicide!
