<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">Motivated by the loss of friends to suicide and personal encounters with depression, I have decided to cycle across the world. From Thailand to Scotland in about 6 months. <br />I hope to raise awareness of, and money for, a charity who work closely with suicide prevention and try to reach out to sufferers of mental illness. Please support me and follow my journey. Thank you!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">Abi WIngate - Project Founder</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">SAMH say:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"> </span></p> <div class="entry" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;"> <blockquote style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 50px; background-image: url(http://www.cycleinstead.com/wp-content/themes/prosumer/images/blockquote.gif); background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; color: #666666; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; margin: 1em;"><address style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">We all think.

Your support can help us be there for all of them. Every year SAMH provides over a million hours of support to people who need our help. Every week, we work with around 3,000 people in over 80 services and every day we campaign for better mental health.
