Today, the 10th of October is national mental health day awareness. My school is taking part in walk in my shoes day to help spread awareness. We have to wear are own pair of shoes and bring in two euro to help support St. Patrick's University hospital. Adam Clayton from U2 wrote a letter to our school asking us to take part. The aim of the "Walk in my shoes" campaign is to get rid of the stigma attached to mental health. Suicide is the second most common cause of death in teenagers and one in six people will experience a mental health difficulty at some point. So it's really important that we help raise awareness for this cause!
