I've studied mental health, wellbeing and illness attentively and worked in the field with clients suffering and experiencing severe challenges with their mind and everyday life. Many of my friends and some of my family have had their struggles and I have myself especially in 2023. There are many stressors at work, in sport, within family life and a lot of students experience anxiety, sadness and trauma. The world isn't always an easy place to live in. It can be lonely, painful and deflating to say the least. This is exactly why the work of Mind supporting all these challenges is vital for prevention and management of mental illness, self-harm and suicide. 

It's hard to imagine how much people in our nation suffer and feel helpless and hopeless. Covering 100km in just 2 days on the coast with steep inclines is exactly why I wanted to challenge myself as much as physically and mentally possible to show my support and appreciation for this amazing cause. 

Your money no matter how big or small will help. It all adds up and is greatly needed for our society.
