<p> <p class="MsoNormal">I&rsquo;ve wanted to travel for some time, but this is the first real opportunity I&rsquo;ve had to explore the world in the way that I want to. I will be travelling to the USA to cycle wherever I feel and to experience whatever occurs. An experience like this can be used for good causes and I wish for those who follow my progress to support me by supporting my friends and all those affected by depression.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Depression seems to be more prevalent than many think. In mid 2010 one of my best friends attempted suicide. At the end of 2010 a best friend committed suicide. In 2011 a close relative attempted suicide. These are the most recent examples of depression affecting my life in the most painful way but I am by no means the only person affected by situations like this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I envisage very difficult times ahead on my adventure and supporting my friends through The Depression Alliance will play a massive part in my motivation. Your donations will contribute towards vital support to those suffering from and those affected by depression.</p> <span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Follow my adventures on <a title="Travel Blog" href="http://stuthetraveller.blogspot.co.uk/">the blog</a> and donate now to help those in need and maintain my motivation and sanity.</span></p>
