A Woy Woy Bay man has committed to running a half marathon each day during September to raise funds for suicide prevention.
“I’m raising money in aid of Suicide Prevention Australia by running a Half Marathon a Day (21.08Km) for the Month of September,” Grant Livingstone’s GoFundMe page says.
“Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that is so prevalent in these unweary times.
“It seems everyone has been affected by this cause at some point and now more than ever seems to be so close to home.”
Livingstone set his fundraising goal as $500 and as at September 14 he had raised $190.
Suicide Prevention Australia is the peak body supporting the suicide prevention sector.
It undertakes research into the causes of suicide, produces policy to help reduce suicide and advocates for the critical work the sector undertakes.
Suicide Prevention Australia is committed to dramatically reducing suicide in Australia.
