Mental health is something we should all be able to talk about openly, without fear of shame or prejudice.

Mind, the Mental Health Charity, are doing vital work towards lifting the stigma of mental health.

They also offer valuable and often life-saving help, support and advice to people suffering with mental health issues, and their friends and families.

Mental Health issues are something that affect most people at one time or another in their lives - either personally, or because of friends or family members.

So, I'm going to run everyday in January. To raise awareness of mental health issues.  To raise money for Mind.  And to look after my own mental health so that I can look after those around me.
