Run4Hope is a new, independent initiative and is not yet associated with any charity. We plan to work with and donate to SADAG, the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, and have met with them, but nothing is finalised. Here's how we plan for every rand to be used.
We plan to donate to SADAG, whose counselling helps people in crisis every day. This is a plan, not yet an agreement. We'll announce it here once it's confirmed.
Some people need more than a phone call. We put funds towards therapy for individuals who are struggling and can't otherwise afford the support.
We send flowers to families who have lost someone to struggles with mental health, so they know they are not alone in their grief.
Men's mental health is bigger than one organisation. As Run4Hope grows, we hope to also support others doing this work, such as BROvember (the Men's Foundation's South African men's health campaign) and Spoke to a Bloke (a men's mental health charity best known for Walk for a Bloke). We haven't agreed anything with them yet, and we'll share updates on the News & Updates page as plans are confirmed.
