Story

Thanks for visiting my just giving page!

Through my job as a PE teacher it has become increasingly obvious that more of our young people are struggling with their mental health. Worryingly, this was evident even before the isolation and uncertainty of Corona. Friends from the PE department  at St Columba’s School in Kilmacolm are hoping that by doing this charity cycle, we can raise awareness of the support that is available from the Young Minds Charity and possibly raise a little money as well. 

We  also hope that the nature of the event will highlight the benefits of exercise, being in nature and the outdoors. Being part of a group and undertaking  an adventure or challenge can all have a positive impact on mental health.
