To many who know me, I don't need to explain how important Mind is. Mind is a life saving Mental Health charity who in their own words: "won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets  both support and respect". The need for charities like Mind is more than ever now, with 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem in their life time. The incredible work that Mind does allows people to regain control over their own lives with support and respect, whilst raising awareness and promoting understanding. My life and many of those around me have been greatly improved by the work of Mind, and that's why I wanted to give something back. This year, between my 20th and 21st birthdays I have set myself three challenges in aid of better mental health for everyone:bFirst, on my 20th birthday I say goodbye to my hair. Then on April 26th I'm jumping out of a plane! Finally on June 13th, I am running a half marathon. These three challenges for me, overcome very personal and very real challenges that affected my mental health. Now (after the help and support of Mind) I can overcome these one last time, whilst hopefully raising some money for a wonderful cause.
