Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 5 weeks I'll be taking on the National Three Peaks challenge alongside my colleagues to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness. 

This week I was shocked to hear that suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 and in the year before last the rate of suicide among men was three times higher than it was for women. 

This charity, along with others aims to help people struggling with mental illness and bring an end to the stigma surrounding it. They provide advice, support groups and services and also campaign to change the lives of those living with mental illness. 

So in memory of a friend and to support the great work done by this charity I'll be putting on my boots (that I hate - see photo!) and trying my best to climb three mountains in 24 hours. Anyone who knows me will know outdoor activity isn't really my thing so this will be a big ask for me! Any donation will be very much appreciated and go towards such a good cause. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
