Personal message
I will run the Two Oceans Ultra Marathon 2024 to raise funds for The South African Depression and Anxiety Group.
Promoting Mental Health Awareness: By fundraising for SADAG, I'm helping raise awareness about mental health issues, often stigmatized and under-discussed in society. My efforts can contribute to breaking the silence surrounding depression and anxiety, encouraging more open conversations, and reducing the stigma associated with these conditions.
Running a marathon to raise funds for the South African Depression and Anxiety Group is commendable and meaningful. It combines personal growth, physical fitness, and a commitment to improving the lives of those affected by mental health issues. My motivation and dedication can create a ripple effect of positive change in my community and beyond.
The funds raised for the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) can be used to support various essential programs and services aimed at helping individuals affected by depression and anxiety.
Here are some ways in which the funds can be utilized within the organization:
1. Helpline and Crisis Intervention
2. Educational Initiatives
3. Counseling Services
4. Training and Professional Development
To name a few!
