On July 27th 2020 my good friend Dillon was sadly taken away from us due to a mental health illness. I have decided to run my first half marathon with some friends at the Heaton Park Run on the 23rd May 2021 to raise money for Mind Mental Health Charity. Dillon is in our thoughts every single day and we would do anything to have him back with us.

Dillon was the life and soul of every room he stepped into but inside he suffered with mental health issues which is heartbreaking. I want to raise awareness of how important our mental health is and if you are suffering alone, please don’t be afraid to speak up. If we can spread the awareness then we can prevent further suicides happening.

Mental health charities such as Mind have been overwhelmed as a result of how the coronavirus pandemic has been affecting our mental health and with fundraising events being cancelled over the last 12 months they need us now more than ever. 2 in 5 men (43%) say they regularly feel worried or low and it saddens me that this illness is taking more and more lives every single day.

We want to continue to make DMT proud so thank you for taking your time to read this and any donation possible would be much appreciated. Even if you can only contribute to the price of a pint of Stella - we all knew how much he loved one and you probably owe him one anyway!  ❤️
