On 26th July I am doing a 135 mile bike ride from Whitehaven to Sunderland over two days. That is roughly 70 miles each day! This is a Coast 2 Coast route (please see www.c2c-guide.co.uk for more information).
I would like to use this opportunity to raise money and awareness for mental health. This is something that is very important to me.
All proceeds given through Just Giving go to Mind (www.mind.org.uk) a national mental health charity which works to provide support and information to those with mental health difficulties and their families.
Nearly all of the work done by Mind is funded by voluntary donations.
£7.50 could pay for specially trained MindinfoLine staff to answer one enquiry from someone needing support and information.
£15 could help to produce and update our award-winning information resources on topics including self harm, anxiety and post-natal depression.
£20 could help to support a local Mind association befriending scheme for those experiencing mental distress who cannot easily leave their homes
£50 could help support a local Mind association provide training programmes and work experience for people recovering from mental illness.
£75 could help us lobby the Government to provide better safeguards and treatment for people who are prescribed drugs for their mental health problems.
Please don't forget to select Gift Aid if you are a UK tax payer.
