Scotland Tang Soo Do’s local martial artists aim to kick continuously for three hours to raise £1000 for the Scottish Association of Mental Health (SAHM), this weekend!
One of the Masters, our very own Moray Wellbeing Hub Champion and Wellness College Communications Co-ordinator, Michelle Raisborough, confirmed the kick-a-thon event, named ‘Keep Kicking’, was suggested by Michael a fellow Tang Soo Do Master from Edinburgh, whose friend committed suicide earlier this year.
Michelle said: “We hope to end some of the stigma around mental health while raising money to support those who are living with a mental health condition. The coronavirus pandemic has touched the lives of everyone and increased anxiety and depression for many. Also, suicide is the leading cause of death in young people, especially males.
“We feel passionately about helping to raise awareness of mental health and want to encourage our students and the communities we teach in to speak openly about it.”
The Keep Kicking event is on Saturday, December 12 from 10am-1pm.
