49KM for 49 Lives
My name is Fred Bede I’m a 20 year old university student studying at ANU.
May is mental health month around the country, so on May 31st I intend to complete an ultra challenging task to raise awareness for men’s mental health.
Within Australia 49 men die by suicide each week, I intend to run 49KM on the 31st of May. The furthest I’ve ever ran in my life was 10KM nearly 2 years ago, and I probably haven’t ran since. I may seem may seem way to underprepared for this challenge, however that is the key point so many men each day are thrown into the deep end and are expected to tackle difficult mental challenges, most of the time alone. I my self have had to live with mental health issues since Year 11, issues that I have to deal with on a daily basis, however I know there is light at the end of the tunnel, and hope this fundraiser can show that to other men as well.
So please help me create a meaningful moment for mental health as I work up a sweat, all for a great cause.
Please donate now. Thank you.
