Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am undertaking three unknown 5k walks barefoot with different groups of people during mental health awareness week 9th - 15th May 2022.

The fact that I'll be barefoot and don't know where the journey's taking me, symbolises the vulnerability and uncertainty we face on our mental health journeys; while being with other people on a LAMP event represents how we work together to support each other as individuals, and help received through advocacy. 

I will be starting my challenge on Monday 9th May, 9am - Starting at the National Space Centre with the Lamp team.

I would love if you wanted to join and support me on my other routes so please see below where you can find me during the week.

  • Wednesday 11th May, 11am - Leicester Botanic Garden - Just Turn up
  • Saturday Time TBC - Claredon Park to Everard Meadows with 'Cool as Leicester' - Booking Required - Link TBC

 “I'm honoured to support LAMP's Trip To The Moon in this way, as I've been passionate about mental health after suffering a crisis in 1997, which led to me being hospitalised for 10 weeks."

Thank you for your support
