<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I've signed up for a 3 hour 'Zumbathon' in a moment of madness.&nbsp; Although I love Zumba I've never managed anything more than a 45 minute session at the gym and normally feel both exhilarated and close to death.&nbsp; There will be photos of the event on facebook for your entertainment.</p> <p>I've signed up for this to raise money for the trust I work for.&nbsp; The money will go towards healthy living equipment for people recieving treatment by the trust for their mental health.&nbsp; These will be the kinds of things that are&nbsp;an&nbsp;invaluable element of&nbsp;a persons recovery but would be above and beyond what the NHS could afford to provide.&nbsp; It is quite well known that people suffering from serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder can have a life expectancy 10 to 15 years lower than the UK average.&nbsp; I think this needs to change.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
