Help Michelle raise money

"You're always smiling " , something I hear alot but don't always feel is real. What is real is my daily struggle with mental health and the stigma behind it. Most days the smile is real, I am happy, I am grateful but it's hard, everyday is hard. I have signed up for my 5th Step Up for Mental Health Virtual Run Club and have been reflecting on what has made me so special that I have not just become another statistic of "death by suicide due to mental health". Well, it's alot of things, it's daily journalling, it's thanking God everyday I wake up and everyday for helping me to survive, it's counselling, it's not being scared or ashamed to admit that I struggle, it's smudging, it's taking time out for myself when needed, it's finding that job that you love, it's reading and learning it's sooooo many things. But, in the end, for me, it's my peeps, knowing that I have the support that I do, the people I love that love me for me, the ones that I can call at 8am or 3 am to say I'm having a shitty time please help me get through this and they do. So this year, for my peeps instead of doing 5km I'm doing the 10km. For most, that may seem like a little skip, but for me I see it as a challenge, a challenge that I know I can and will do, not just for my peeps but for ME because I deserve it and my peeps deserve to have me. Love you all and let's keep smiling 😊 ❤️🤗
