Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Mum and I have decided to run the Richmond Half Marathon in September this year for Mind. This is a big challenge for both of us as we have never ran a half marathon before!
Mind is a mental health charity that provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. This is a cause close to both of our hearts so any support would be greatly appreciated. Mind campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding of mental health in the UK.
Unfortunately mental health is still an issue that many people are ignorant about, which can leave people suffering from a mental health problem feeling stigmatised, lost and alone. The reality of a mental health problem is terrifying; it can make people feel hopeless, desperate and ultimately lead to them taking their own life.
One in four people in the UK have a mental health problem of some kind, so it is really important that they get all the support and help they need to get better. Mind is doing everything they can to be there for people suffering from depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness which is why we want to help them as much as possible.
£3 could help Mind answer more calls
£7.50 could help Mind provide more support locally
£12 could help Mind give people a place to turn
