If you are thinking of entering a marathon, cycle race or mountain biking event – or planning to climb Kilimanjaro or celebrate a milestone birthday with a parachute jump – why not use the opportuntity to fundraise for the SA Federation for Mental Health? You'll be amazed what helping others does for your own mental well-being!

Please visit the Doit4Charity website to set up a fundraising blog ... select the SA Federation for Mental Health as the beneficiary organisation – and then get all your friends, work colleagues and family members to sponsor you.

The money you raise [less bank charges and a small processing fee] will go towards promoting mental health and caring for those affected by intellectual disability or illness.

You can also use Doit4Charity if you would rather friends and loved ones made a donation to the nation's mental health instead of buying you a birthday or Christmas gift this year.
