Did you know suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the US with an average of 130 suicides per day? I sure didn’t, and like many others in our society I had the luxury of not concerning myself with mental health issues for a large portion of my life. Things changed for me when I lost my dear friend Jason to suicide in 2018, and again in 2020 when I lost my older brother Greg. I began to learn what surrounds this heartbreaking statistic, and now I’ve created GOOD NUSS to create awareness and promote change in our society.
Ten percent of the profits from every sale of #cancelsuicide merchandise will be donated for suicide prevention. To honor friends and family lost, I am collecting their stories to be shared on this platform. Please comment below with your story or share extra love & support for those lost. I’ll go first…
I remember:
My big brother Greg (Greggory as his contact read in my phone) had a laugh 10 times his size! He loved Mt. Dew and was always down to play card games and order a pizza with me after high school - lost his life to suicide in 2020.
My dear friend Jason, a die-hard cheese-head (Green Bay Packers fan for the non-football fanatics) avid movie lover, and was the best Indiana Jones for Halloween one year- lost his life to suicide in 2018.
Cheers to you both.
