I've been fairly open about my own struggles with mental illness over the last 10+ years and I've also known others close to me that have suffered with anxiety, depression, bi polar disorder and self-harm.
People are a lot more open to talking about mental health then they used to be, but there's still a long way to go. There still needs to be improvements on the level of care and treatment offered to those suffering and I wanted to do my bit to raise as much money and awareness as possible, for a cause that is very personal to me.
