Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

There is still a stigma associated with mental health and those suffering from it, despite a recent media focus of the ailment.

I have experienced first hand how hard and difficult it can be to get professional help for those affected by mental health.

Not only do I want to raise money, but also awareness of mental health. In March I will be participating in the Bear Grylls Academy 24 hour adult survival course in the Brecon Beacons. During this intense 24 hours I'll be arriving into the wilderness without a tent and very limited resources. No donations will go towards the event which I've self-funded.

All money raised will be going to the mental health service the Early Intervention Service. This service helps people aged between 14 - 35 who are suffering with mental health. This is an absolutely amazing service who work extremely hard to help young people understand what they are going through and offer treatment that is right for them. The service supports people to integrate back into their community and achieve their unique aspirations.

I have seen first hand the hardwork, dedication and time this fantastic service puts into their patients.

Unfortunately there hasn't been much fundraising for this service and they are reliant on limited funding.

This is my way of saying thank you to this amazing service for helping someone dear to me.
