In support of Our Time and their activities helping young people I will be undergoing GRUELING exercise with my partner Rosie for *SHOCK* 26 ENTIRE minutes on Sunday; including running, *GASP* 26 weight lifts on each arm and *YES* 26 sit-ups together. How shall our future muscularity be contained?!

However, being serious for a moment Our Time really are a worthwhile cause who offer invaluable services to vulnerable children and families.

When a parent suffers from mental illness it is rare for anyone parent, teacher, or even social worker to know how to discuss the illness with the child. The children are often confused and frightened. They may be bullied at school if they reveal their secret, and commonly fear they will catch their parents illness. Research has shown that an estimated 3.7 million young people are affected by this issue, and at present most receive no attention or support. Our Time is campaigning for and supporting these young people to ensure they get the right help early on and to prevent them from becoming patients themselves.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
