A project to spread awareness about mental illness.
Who:
Chrestian. Unemployed. Flat Broke. Bored with life. Has experienced mental illness in the form of a stress induced depression in 2006. Now fighting to uplift his son.
Vincent. The son. At 15 years age he has seen ”the true face of this world” for a couple of years now. Hates school and can’t find meaning in this existence.
Why:
To show that there’s goodness and concern for the next of kin in the world, and that it’s never so bad that you need to finish life prematurely.
How:
We are riding a classic Honda motorcycle to meet good people. As we are flat broke we will rely on donations to keep rolling. Will anyone care?
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.
Sunday 11-02-2018. My close friend Ulf’s son Klas took his own life at only 17 years of age. A young man with loving parents, good grades, good looks, good manners and a good heart.
No one knew how he really felt inside until that day. Now it’s too late.
All that his parents want is for us to talk to each other. You and me. Ask your close ones how they really feel. Please. This can’t be allowed to happen again.
As for me and Vincent; we can’t sit still any longer and we are doing this tour. We are doing it for our own sake, no doubt about that, but we hope to inspire others as well, and to get people to talk to eachother about mental illness and suicide. Please do.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We set off with a full tank of gas and a waterbottle each, and whatever else we could carry, but as we were flat broke, we only had a pocket full of borrowed money. It all worked out fine.
