So it's that time of year again that I dig out my walking boots and ask you to dig deep in your pockets for some loose change. Myself and a group of friends will be taking part in Bodmin Ten Tors, to raise money for a charity close to our hearts. We are raising money this year for PANDAS Foundation, a mental health charity, that focuses on providing support to mother's through perinatal mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. Each one of us taking part in the walk has at some point been affected by post natal anxiety or depression, and would like to help fundraise for this worthwhile cause so other people don't have to struggle on alone like we did. I myself have battled through post natal anxiety, having never been an anxious person before, and never having heard of post natal anxiety, I felt at times I was cracking up, I wish I knew more at the time about fantastic helplines and charities such as PANDAS.
So the challenge itself will take place on the 20th of May, we will be walking 14 miles and climbing ten tors in a day. Getting up roughtor once in a day is tiring enough, let alone 9 other tors plus the distance in between each one, so I assure you every penny donated will be hugely appreciated! I have my knee, ankle and hip supports ready, a rucksack full of bandages and blister plasters, all we need now is to know we've raised a little bit of money to make it all worthwhile. Please help us, help other mums like us.
**The only reason this is set up as a crowdfunding page is because the charity is not registered with just giving, it is however a registered charity, and I will post evidence after that every penny has been donated**
