For those who know me, they will know what a huge challenge it is for me to do what I'm about to do... jump out of a plane!! ...yeah yeah i know you are all thinking does she have permission from the doc right? lol .

I'm going to jump thousands of feet, soar through the clouds and then open my parachute to land on St Andrews beach.

For those of you who don't know me, you can read my story to see exactly why I am taking on this challenge and why I am donating all the money I raise to Mind, beacause mental health can affect all of us or someone we know...chances are, if you are reading this, you have been affected by mental health through personal experience or perhaps you haven't been aware that someone you know has actually gone through it, perhaps they still are.

It is not an illness which is openly talked about, it is an illness you cannot see with your eyes . some people say but you dontrt look ill , maby not but it can be the most dibillitating illness that a person can ever go through and that is why i want to do something to help . so by raising funds and awareness towards Mind who have great resources and help for those affected by mental health issues, I hope I am helping to get my message across that mental illness can make you stronger and take you to a point where you can achieve anything...if I can jump out a plane for this cause then it must be true that anything is possible! :)

I hope you can show your support by donating whatever you can, the easiest way is by text -

By sending your donation by text, it will cost you no more than the donation amount. Simply text the amount you wish to donate and the following code MIND73 to the number 70070.

For example... £5 MIND73

Read on to know a bit more about why I am doing this.

My story is sometimes hard to say out loud.

After my second child I had post natal depression but due to medicines that were unsuitable the illness got worse over the years. After around 5 years it transferred into psycotic depression. I've been stable and medicated now for 7 years but only because it is a life long illness and I have come to terms with the fact it is a part of my life and I will be stable as long as I take my medication. But with help from many charities the therapy and medication has become more easily obtained and is able to help more and more people and I just feel as though I should give something back now that I feel stable and happy with my life as it is today. I'd like to help show people that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that you can achieve anything due to charity and help from organisations that specialise in psyciatric and mental health disorders.dont get me wrong there was timesd i decided it wasnt worth living but i then decided that i would try other kinds of therpy . i becme a reiki therapist and now 12 years later well lets just say i have come to a point where my life is all about helping others so as to get them to the point where they can help others in the future. This paprachute jump is a huuuuuge thing for me , u see im scared of absolutly everything but if i can do this with your help and donations then i can do absolutly anything . so pleaser find it in your hearts to donate whatever you can every penny counts and with each donation it gives me more confidence in myself being able to do this jump ....im counting on you to give me that push i need , cmon i know theres loads of u out there who wud love to without the parachute tho lol. just give what you can and you will be making a huge difference to someone somewheres lifes. omshanti, love and peace....denise. xxxxx
