bpd awareness month

In 6 months I will participate in the Biarritz Internatinal Marathon as a relay runner with my sister and my dad. Zoë will be running 14km, Julien 10km and I will finish the race with the 18km distance.

This event is very important to me as it will take place during the month of May which is also the Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month. This is why all the funds raised for the race will be donated to bpd research.

Research shows that 1 in a 100 people is affected by bpd and that approximately 70 percent of people with borderline personality disorder will attempt suicide at least once in their lifetimes. About 10 percent complete the act. This suicide rate is higher than any other psychiatric disorder and the general population.

The race will take place on the 5th of May 2024.

The 5th of May 2023 is an especially symbolic day for me as it was a turning point in my life as well as the lives of my family and close friends. I am forever grateful for the people who have been around for the past 6 months and am very proud to think that a year later I will be running a marathon with the most important people in my life. Even when you don’t see it, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. You’re not alone.
