Project Description
I have been developing and expanding Walk and Talk over the last year on the side of my full time work and current medical battles. It has had an overwhelming impact in the community and the hard work is worth every moment.
However, unfortunately my medical condition has worsened to needing on-going invasive treatments abroad. My immediate concern was for how Walk and Talk would continue. The time that is dedicated to it is vast – from ensuring a good location for each walk, to fundraising for and obtaining refreshments, liaising with the community, and organising professional support and volunteers.
So for my birthday this year I ask you to help me keep Walk and Talk going, through raising enough money to fund the next 3 walks in 2021 while I undergo my medical treatment.
We have organised the locations and have wonderful support from the partners we now have (The Richmond Foundation, Mental Health Association Malta, and BirdLife Malta), but we need your help!
Just €20 allows an attendee to access the full support at the walk. If we get 75 people to donate €20, we hit our target, and help to change and even save lives!
Every little helps, so any amount you can donate is received with true gratitude and the best gift I could ask for this year.
Project FAQ
Who can attend?
We aim for social inclusion, welcoming anyone of any age, sex, nationality.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, lonely, stressed, in the darkness of depression, suffering from an eating disorder or anxiety, we will support you.
Why do we need to provide refreshments?
It is surprising to learn how many people feel unworthy of being given anything as small as a coffee. I used to feel I didn't deserve anything and would not allow myself any little pleasures or gestures. This act of kindness breaks this feeling while continuing to create social inclusion and helping people to relax and talk with one another over the refreshments.
How much does it cost?
There is absolutely no fee for any attendee at any point.
Does it really work?
It is simple and proven very effective.
It is not therapy support as we know it, but by using the simplicity of nature and humanity where anyone will gain, benefits people and a gives them a boost of positivity.
How do I receive my reward?
All rewards are to be collected from the walks where you will have the opportunity to join the walk and interact with others (although this is not obligatory). This will give Rachael the chance to to thank you in person and will also eliminate the need for packaging materials, making the campaign more eco-friendly.
