Story

Here is my story,

When I was just 8 years old I came home from school after an ordinary day to discover that I would never see my mum again. At that age i didnt know much, all I knew is that some days my mum was excited, happy and crying of laughter and then on other days my mum would stay in bed depressed. My mum had bipolar the morjarity of her life and at the age of of 44 she took her own life because the illness made her think that my life would be better without her, I have now lived 14 years without my mum, I cant change what has happened but I can try and help others who are going through the same pain and suffering that my mum went through. 

Bipolar (Manic Depression) - 

  •  is a condition that affects your moods, which can swing from one extreme to another.
  • If you have bipolar disorder, you will have periods or "episodes" of:

  • depression - where you feel very low and lethargic
  • mania - where you feel very high and overactive (less severe mania is known as hypomania)

I am raising money in honour of my mum because even though ive had to live nearly all my childhood without a mum she gave her life because she thought mine would be easier/better without her.My mum gave her life for me so im giving my life to bipolar.

So far ive done:

  • 3x Car Washes
  • 4x Raffels
  • 2x Charity Party 
  • 2x Bun Sales
  • SKYDIVE from 15,000ft
  • Legwax

All the money raised from these events have been donated onto this page.

I have already reached my previous targets of £500,£1000 and £5000 so please help me reach my next target of £6,500 and achieve my goal in just helping other people that need it because most of us can all give something no matter how much you give at least you will have the feeling that you have helped someone today. Please Donate!!
