Do you Dare 2 Express yourself?
Can You Help?
Meet Our Founder
Dare 2 Express was a creation of its founder, John Dennis, in his deepest darkest moments of life. With cracks in the overstretched and under-funded health services, he made a choice to help others as he had been helped.
The entire concept of Dare 2 Express is to challenge people in dark moments, by asking people to dare to express themselves.
