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. 

If you want to know more about my own struggle with mental illness and hear the road I've been on in order to get me to this point, then check out my YouTube video here:
