I (Emma), know all too well what it's like to suffer from mental health issues. I've been battling depression and anxiety for the past 9 years and one thing i've learnt along the way is that to help yourself you have to ask for help off others.... Something of which Mind is a fantastic charity for.
Mental health is one of those issues in life that pretty much anyone and everyone can relate to at some point in their lives; that being themselves or someone they know.
This obviously varies from person to person and what issues they may face along the way.
However, having a mental health problem is something that should not be ignored by anyone and it should not be stigmatised by anyone. But it does.
This is why we want to raise money for Mind. They help so many people who are suffering, who have suffered and those who have sadly lost people to mental health issues.
In this day and age, mental health should not be looked at as someone going 'crazy' or someone who is just 'a bit down'. Mental health is a serious and debilitating issue; thus more people need to realise that it does take its toll on people's lives considerably and that it isn't something that can go away over-night.
By walking our route, we plan on not just raising money for this great cause but talk to people about what it's like and what Mind are about.
Awareness is key in reaching goals and being a success and we hope that whomever you are that you can donate whatever you can to this wonderful charity... And we hope to see some of you along the way!!
Finally a big thank you for the help and support from UCFB; without the university's assistance, this walk would not have been as possible to do.
