Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am commited to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in February 2011 for the charity 'Climb Your Mountain'. People that know me will know that this is so out of my comfort zone and have never done anything like this before, but i'm really excited about the forthcoming challenge.
For some people anxiety and depression is a major part of their lives and having lived for nearly 30 years I have seen mental health become a large part of our world.
There are obviously many many reasons why this is, and there has been numerous break throughs in medication to support this. However after talking to Jason who climbed the mountain this year and is now involved with the charity he explained how the charity used the focus of exercise and companionship to overcome personal issues.
By using simple but clear physical goals the charity has proved that many levels of mental health can be climbed and conquered.
What I really liked as well was that the money we raise is used in such obvious and visable ways. It really does make me feel like I am making a difference. A great example being that if a number of us reach our sponsorship goal they will be able to keep the extremely successful and well supported walking and running clubs going for a number of years to come. These clubs form the foundation of their work and give many sufferers the focus they need to start again.
Confidence and motivation are major tools when climbing your own mountain what ever that may be and I am both confident and motivated towards raising as much money as possible for this active charity.
However I can not do it without you, please help me to help other people who through the guidance of Jason and the Climb Your Mountain team can start to climb their own personal mountain by good old fashioned values, by feeling supported,and motivated, feeling a part of something worth while, in helping themselves they are helping others, and having the focus and desire to make themselves stronger.
