Thankyou for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and I really appreciate you reading my story. Mental health illness on averages affects 1 in every 3 people in the UK which means unfortunately its likely you have experienced something yourself or you know somebody who has struggled in the past. The charity rethink mental illness state that there vision is to create maximum quality of life for all affected by mental illness and to transform the way our nation approaches mental illness. Both of these statements I personally support and by taking part in the Berlin marathon I want to show my support without prevarication for my friends and family, particularly when it comes to maximising the quality of life. My experiences have made me appreciate the severe nature of the various diseases covered by mental illness and have inspired me to changed the approach and stereotypes towards mental illness. If you are considering donating, Rethink mental illness have kindly provided a list of amounts and how they will directly use the money to impact peoples lives and ultimately work towards our goals. 

£10- Helps provide advice for Emergency helpline.                              £25- Helps fund the campaign to change laws and tackle mental health discrimination.                                                                                    £48- Helps one person attend support groups for a whole year.

I don't expect this amount at all I just thought it was a valuable piece of information to share and to give a perspective on how a donation can help change someone life. I understand times are hard at the moment but I please urge you to try and donation anything you can, it will be going to a truly great cause. Even if you cant donate, I still really appreciate you reading this and staying with me for this long. Whatever you can give you, it will always be the action of giving and supporting the cause that matters to me. This event and its fundraising is in support of anyone who might need mental health support- Family, friends, colleagues and even strangers. Once again please donate if you can and thankyou very much, I hope you all have a wonderful day!
