This race for me is dedicated to a close friend who unfortunately committed suicide this year. Gary an extremely close family friend was an individual that thrived on making people happy. He had a real positive impact on his local community and was known by many from all industries and backgrounds. For me Gary has been a very significant male role model in my life. His attitude towards family and friends was admirable and will never be forgotten. Such a beautiful and inspiring man. I am on a mission to make the world more aware of mental illness and how invisible it really is. The goal of this race for me is to raise as much money as possible so that the charity Changes in Tamworth can help other people like Gary who suffered. (Changes brief bellow) But alongside raising money is raising awareness, even if 10 people find out about this it makes a difference. So please help me in sharing the awareness of mental illness.

As some of you may know Gary liked to dress up pretty much every new years eve sometimes as a women sometimes as other things.. So in true style i shall be running as a sexy watermelon. This is my creative side coming out. Im sure he would have approved.

The aim of Changes service is to provide an opportunity for those suffering from mental distress to move from isolation, withdrawal and dependency to becoming active and contributing members of their immediate and wider community.

To all that contribute. I am very grateful for your contribution money, sharing or even telling some one the cause of this.

Kind regards

Frankie
