Blue or Bald for Pieta House

Hello there, I’m holding an event on the 31st March 2022 at which I’m encouraging everyone to embrace ‘feeling blue’ for the day (whether you want to dress blue, paint yourself blue or dye your hair blue), go bald or even just make a donation in aid of Pieta House! :)

Mental health awareness is a topic that is very close to my heart as unfortunately, I lost my mother to suicide in the middle of the pandemic and thereafter struggled with my own feelings of anxiety and sadness at a time when I didn’t and couldn’t have many people around to support me. Prior to this though, my mom was also a huge mental health campaigner, having organised many fundraisers herself and even helped establish the Haven Hub, a peer support and suicide prevention organisation. So I’d like to keep her passion for wellbeing alive by promoting positive mindfulness.

It’s my belief that in this day of social media many people struggle with living up to the ideal personas they consume and portray themselves as online which is why I’d like people to join me in dressing up or colouring themselves to show the world that it’s ok to be blue!!

And if you’re really hardcore you can even join me in shaving your head to embrace your vulnerability and overcome feelings of self doubt, or even just coz you’re into that kinda thing B-).
