My Personal Message
Hi,
Thanks for visiting the BOSI 100,000k Challenge fundraising page. The 100k Challenge is a Challenge that has been accepted by the staff to raise 100,000 again in 2009. All money raised will be donated to our Charity of the Year Console. In the first six months we have raised more than 50k which is super. To raise the next 50k is not an easy challenge and needs every one to get involved.
What you can do?
Raise money .... its fun! From Draws, 10k to marathons, coffee mornings to dress down days, Table Quiz, sporting events and Team Away Days - there are loads of things that you can do to raise funds for the 100k Challenge.
2009 Charity of the year is Console. Suicide is a tragic and often mysterious event. The causes of suicide are multi-dimensional and complex, shaped by many aspects of life including biological, sociological and psychological factors. Console promotes positive mental health within the community in an effort to reduce the escalating number of attempted suicides and deaths through suicide.
Console wish to develop a new innovative Suicide Prevention Programme for Children and Adolescents in Crisis.
Children as young as six years of age are presenting to Console having engaged in acts of deliberate Self-Harm or Attempted Suicide. This new Child Psychotherapy Service will provide systemic Counselling and Support to Children, Adolescents and Families at risk.
Let me give you one example and try to place yourself in its context for even one minute.
A mum returned to her home to find her husband dead in their bedroom where he had shot himself. He was the father of three Children aged six to fourteen years. A number of weeks following the fathers death we met this family and listening to the little six year old about her wishes and her dreams. Her response was I just want my daddy back It is harrowing to watch adults suffer least alone Children.
Console is a life-line for these families.
You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for your support,
Rhona
