Why I am fundraising

I am taking part in KM4KIDS to raise awareness and fundraise for the mental health of our young people. You wouldn't believe that 4/5 young people have experienced mental health issues over the last two years; they're not too young to be facing these challenges. They're not exempt because they are kids. This is where it begins. I have volunteered as a LifeChanger Mentor in primary schools and have seen first hand the impact we can have on these kids by giving them a safe environment to open up, express themselves and entrust responsible adults with their feelings and experiences. LifeChanger helps kids to build resilience by forming strong connections through activities, challenge them with deep thinking & problem solving to become stronger and more confident. I'm walking for the kids who need someone to stand up for them, for their mental health and to help combat our youth mental health crisis. If you could spare any amount to donate and help support the cause to equip them with the best possible tools to see them through these formative years of their lives, I (and they) would be so grateful.
