We're all surrounded by mental health problems, probably more than we realise. And whilst it's easy to say you'll be there for the people close to you, sometimes the people closest to you are the hardest to open up to. 

Mind provide expert information and support to those suffering from mental health problems, as well as to those indirectly effected. 

As the stigma around mental health starts to recede, we need to ensure that organisations like Mind are sufficiently resourced to allow people to seek the help they need. 

55 miles in the saddle was but a small step on the way to achieving this simple goal, but the sore bottom and jelly legs were worth it even if it allows us to make a small change to one person's life. So please give generously and consider the difference you're making.
