For the past few years I have been battling with depression and anxiety and now I need something to keep me going and something to focus on, so I have signed up for the Liverpool Spring 10k on the 6th May. I am going to sign up to more events and hopefully be able to progress further. I know that I am not alone and there are millions effected by these mental health issues. I am going to be raising money to donate to ‘Young Minds’, here is a brief overview on the amazing things they do.

‘We’re leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges. We’re here to make sure they get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life’s difficulties.

The crisis in children and young people’s mental health is real and it is urgent. More children and young people than ever before are reaching out for help with their mental health. But for those who take that brave step, help is much too hard to find.

Together, we are changing this. We’re fighting for young people’s mental health. Join our fight.’

Any donation will be appreciated by myself, the people at Young Minds and the people that they support.

Thanks, Jake
