Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm doing this because so many people are living with the darkness and in the crippling grip of anxiety and panic disorders. And the nature of these conditions means those suffering struggle to seek help, often falling under even darker shadows of depression and addiction.

Someone who was very special to me, who was a huge part of my life, died, aged just 35, because of damage caused through self-medicating his condition. And because he was too frightened to call a doctor or the ambulance that might have saved his life.

So I'm doing this for him. For Etienne.

He had turned his life around, given up alcohol and was striving to be happy. He was strong enough to do that, so I am trying to be strong, too.
