Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Your great, already. Please keep reading though to be amazing!  ;) 

I have a mental health condition (Social Anxiety). I don't mind sharing that now but once upon a time I didn't want anyone to know. I was worried about how people would react or how they would treat me. What I actually found when I told people was just how wonderful some people are and how nearly every single person I know struggles at some point with mental health. The point is that the stigma surrounding mental health stops people getting support and feeling better about themselves. 

MIND are an amazing charity. Their website has a wealth of reliable information that I have used many times especially when trying to explain how i'm feeling to other people. I'm running everyday in January in the hope that I will raise some money to support MIND with their invaluable work, however, just as importantly i'm doing this to start conversations about mental health. You know it's a good cause. 

If you made it this far, thank you very much. Your donation would help so many people feel less alone or scared. If you can't donate then please be one of the best human beings and take a look at the links below. Maybe send them to someone who could do with a hand? Or maybe start a conversation about mental health at work? Maybe you could encourage your kids to talk about how their feeling? Or just invite that strange moody person at work to sit with you at lunch for once?
