Better Him Than Me (the Marathon, I Mean)
Okay, everyone, time to pony up for a good cause: Jason Thompson is running a marathon to raise money for San Francisco Suicide Prevention (SFSP). As a former sufferer of major depression, Jason knows all about SFSP. He called America’s oldest crisis line four to five years ago when he needed help; now he counsels others who are coping with depression, loss, schizophrenia, relationship problems, addiction, terminal illness, etc. He says:
This is a tough time to think about giving to charity. But it’s precisely because the economic downturn is creating even greater challenges for people struggling with serious mental illness that SFSP’s work is so critical. … The organization provides 24/7 free telephone crisis counseling from trained volunteers. … Your dollars will play a vital role in supporting the basic operational costs that SFSP has to cover to keep the lines running for people in crisis.
