Having ended 2019 with a spate of ill-health, I’ve decided to kick start my 2020! 

Red January aims to promote mental health through exercise, as we all know healthy bodies and healthy minds go hand in hand. So I’ll be ensuring that I complete some form of exercise every day through January and posting on Strava to prove it! 

At the same time I’ve signed up for Dry January, promising that not a sip of gin will pass my lips for the month.

Hopefully, the two combined will start my 2020 with a healthier body and mind and maybe even inspire some others along the way. 

And for even more motivation, why not raise some money for MIND at the same time!

Manchester Mind is an independent, local charity, which supports over 5000 young people and adults each year. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and we have a part to play in that. Our charity values the commitment of our staff and volunteers, who work hard to ensure services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved. Donations and help from our fantastic supporters make a real difference, so thank you for being part of our success this year.
