I’m Tyrone, I play in a band called RÜFÜS DU SOL and I love what I do. Mental health has been such a crucial part of my life within music and has played such a key role in allowing me to continue performing, touring and creating. My wish is that mental health and the conversation around it is more accessible and normalized in our world. The team at Minding Your Mind is doing exactly that… educating youth and providing them with tools and coping skills through the act of sharing personal life stories.
I’ll be running the NYC marathon to raise money and awareness for the cause. It would mean a lot to me if you can support this great cause so that Minding Your Mind can continue doing what they do. In a time of struggle or darkness, one small tool or moment of connection can change the course of someone’s life.
The majority of Minding Your Mind’s programs are provided on a donate-as-able basis to the schools or organizations requesting them. Each individual program costs Minding Your Mind approximately $500 plus overhead. While hosting groups are invited to make a donation to Minding Your Mind, they do not decline presentations due to an inability to pay. Because of this policy, most of Minding Your Mind’s financing is derived from fundraising events, personal donations, and charitable grants. Your donation can change — and save lives. Thank you.
