Pushing Boundaries for Mental Health
Fundraising for Wellbeing Works, Dundee
Story
Thanks for visiting.
Mental health affects everyone, including myself, not someone many would connect with mental illness. I will attach my blog in the updates below.
I feel strong enough to be able to say the above, Ive been lucky and had a largely positive experience but there are those who have tried to use this negatively. But many are not ready or do not feel able to make it known, or in fact have and had a very negative experience. We need to work together to change this situation.
Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. I am trying on many different fronts to demonstrate this but also raise awareness and conversation around mental health. Check out Dundee Mental Health Awareness Week - Heart Tay Heart. I am incredibly passionate about this area. We can ALL make a difference to someone.
I will be pushing my boundaries for mental health in the upcoming months, yes Im a runner but these are all first times for me - eeeeeek!!
Here they are:
Liverpool 2 Manchester - 50 miles - 15th April 2017
West Highland Way Race - 96 miles - 24th June 2017
#80degrees Challenge - 26 miles at +40 degrees & 6 days later 26 miles at -40 degrees - Jan 2018
Your support for these local charities is invaluable, it really is only by working together that we can make the difference!
I will have a page set-up for a national mental health charity - link will be added - if you feel that would be more appropriate.
Anything is possible.
