I am running a half marathon on 27 September 2009 to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation. I feel this is a really worthwhile cause becuase an estimated 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems in their lives. It is still a somewhat misunderstood area of health, but just as important as physical health.
It's a great charity because they aim to help people survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems. They do this by:
learning what makes and keeps people mentally well
-
communicating their findings to a wide range of people
-
turning their research into practical solutions that make a difference to people's lives.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
