Help Martin raise money

For participating in Go For Broke 22

Help me help Lifeline save lives

I am participating in the 180km (Yes 180km!) Go For Broke ‘Ride to Beat Depression’ one day charity bike ride again this year (this will be my 4th year) on Sat 29/10/22, to help raise much needed funds for the charity Lifeline (the Harbour to Hawkesbury centre.)


It would be great if you are able to help me with raising funds for Lifeline, your donation will give me the boost I need to reach my initial fundraising target of $1000. 

Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. With depression and anxiety on the rise the work they do is crucial. 

One in five Australians have suffered or are currently a sufferer. On average 8 Australians take their life through suicide each day. You can’t just cure depression. It has to be managed with help, support and love given by those around sufferers of this debilitating disease. 

All funds raised go to the great people and work that Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury do.

Thanks for your support!

Description

Everyday nine Australians lose their battle with mental health 

Over the last few years Covid and natural disasters have impacted on many people's lives. Now in 2022 as prices increase for food, petrol and mortgages many people in our community are dealing with mental health issues for the first time.

This year I'm riding in the 2022 180km Go for Broke Ride to Beat Depression to help raise awareness and funds for mental health and Lifeline. The Gordon office of Lifeline, which we support is one of only a few Lifeline call centres nationally that answers calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's after hours and overnight when many of us and people who struggle with depression and anxiety are most vulnerable and need our support.

At Go for Broke every dollar goes to Lifeline's frontline services and crisis support 13 11 14 number. Please give for this great cause and support me as I train for this tough ride. Help me help Lifeline.

Every dollar makes a difference. Every dollar can save a life. Thank you.
