Hello!

I'm taking part in the above events this spring / summer and would appreciate if you could donate a few pounds for a local charity who support people in Manchester who experience mental health. They are an independent charity who do not receive any money from Mind. 

I have the pleasure of working on a daily basis with people who suffer from mental health. Many of whom want to live as normal lives as possible and be in the community rather than in hospital.

It is important to have resources available locally so we can try to reduce the root causes of mental health such as isolation and stigma and allow people with mental health to live their lives in their own way. 

I'm always training for 10km or half marathons but I really wanted to challenge myself with an open water swim so I thought I'd do both!

Please feel free to come cheer me on at either event. Although please no photos in my wetsuit as it's not the most flattering!!! Then as per any event I'll be having a well deserved beer or 10 afterwards!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
