Everingham is passionate about mental health and is an ambassador of the R U OK national suicide prevention charity. “As an ambassador I am excited to raise awareness, offer support and start conversations about suicide prevention and mental health,” says Everingham. “Becoming an ambassador for R U OK? is something very close to my heart as I have directly seen how important it is to ask someone if they are ok,” continues Everingham. To top it all off, Everingham was recently awarded the 2019 Mike Kable Young Gun award.
