Simon BODLE is raising money for Depression Alliance
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Ironman Switzerland · 15 July 2012

In August 2016, Depression Alliance merged with Mind, the mental health charity. We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Money you donate here will be used exclusively for services previously run by Depression Alliance, e.g. Friends in Need.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On July 15th, I will be competing in the Ironman Switzerland in Zurich. The race is made up of a 2.4 mile swim, then a 112 mile cycle finishing with a full marathon of 26.2 miles.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whilst this mammoth endurance event is part of my mid-life crisis, I wanted to use the opportunity to raise some money for a good cause. This year I have been struck by what a terrible sickness depression can be. Often stigmatised, this illness can ruin lives and the sufferers often go through the darkest moments completely alone. The Depression Alliance is a tremendous organisation that works to relieve and prevent this treatable condition by providing information and support services.</p> <p>Any donation you can make will be put to great use and will be&nbsp;most gratefully received.</p>
