Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for this year.
I am completing my second triathlon on 17th April 2011 and will be raising as much awareness and money for a fabulous charity that I came across at the early part of this year. I started fund raising for this fantastic charity after losing my brother Gi in August 2009 and decided to complete the triathlon again this year as my own personal rememerance of him, but then I thought about it and realised that the money you raised last year will of made such a huge difference to those suffering with mental health issues and although I can never bring Gi back, I and we can keep making a difference.
I do appreciate I am asked again ! but those people suffering are still out there and we are still here being able to make a difference in peoples lives that are touched by this terrilble illness.
I feel so strongly that this is an illness which has no cure and is often unbelievably hard for friends and family to help with and try to understand. MIND do an amazing job of supporting many and their families and I would love to be able to help again in some small way in supporting their work. I hope to do much more in supporting their work, I feel sometimes that even in this day and age with our demanding lives this is an area which is vastly overlooked and often not taken at all seriously with tragic consequences.
I will be out there on my own this year as I am sure I can complete things by myself and if you gave last year but still believe in supporting this fantastic charity or if you didn't hear about what I am trying to do in time to sponsor me then please be a part of my day this year and help by sponsoring me, even a small amount can make such a huge difference, it really can !!!
Thank you so so much for taking the time to visit my page and to read my story.
