Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Hello Family and Friends:

Well......I am going to try this again this year.  The Falmouth Road Race is a challenge for me but running and raising money for a great cause is well worth it .

Not to mention that the training is good for me.  I have been training and am planning to be ready for the big day.

I hope you will consider sponsoring me. The Genesis Club is an extraordinary organization that  truly saves lives and helps many, many people each year as they work to overcome the issues related to living with a mental illness. Check them out with the attached video.

Please consider making a gift of any size. Your support inspires me personally to achieve my goal and will be put to good use by the Genesis Cub.

Some facts to consider:

1 in 4 families has someone living with a mental illness

1 in 100 people will develop schizophrenia

1 in 10 people with schizophrenia will commit suicide

mental disabilities account for 12%of the global burden of disease but most government healthcare systems budget less than 1% on mental health care.

873,000 people commit suicide each year according to the Word Health Organization and 90% of those are related to mental disorders.

The Genesis Club helps hundreds of people with mental illness every year.

Take a look at their web page.  www.genesisclub.org

Thanks for considering this.

Joel
