Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running Fleet Half Marathon to raise money and awareness for mental health in our younger generations, as well as our older generations. For far too long the subject has been taboo, with kids issues being ignored. It’s time they got a voice! 3 children in every classroom have a diagnosable mental health condition with around 80,000 young people suffering from severe depression.

This is a personal issue for me, my husband being recently diagnosed with depression. We also have a daughter who suffers with anxiety and depression. The last year has been a long journey for all of us, but it’s made us realise what is important in life.

My reason for targeting Young Minds though is because here is where we can all make a difference right now, hear our children now, get them talking and actually listen to what they are saying, help them now. Say #HelloYellow and support children and young people’s mental health
