Story

I am running in memory of my brother who we tragically lost to suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45 which is shocking so anything that we can do to support these amazing charities is so valuable. We need to remove the stigma around mental health and encourage people to be open and just talk about it! It's ok not be ok and there's always someone ready to listen and support in any way they can. Suicide should not be seen as the only way forward in someone's life. Please support me to support Norwich and Central Norfolk Mind. Thank you so much! 

Central to our work is the promotion on wellness and recovery. We believe that with the right support and resources everybody can create a life that feels meaningful irrespective of the presence of symptoms. To do this we share our own stories, insights and expertise.The support from our local community and organisations is integral to our success of our vision, together we are stronger and we will continue to work hard so that no one has to face mental health problems alone.

About the charity

We're Norfolk and Waveney Mind, your local mental health charity. We work to reduce the stigma associated with mental health, support people in their recovery and champion better services for all.
