Leading the way to a better quality of life for everyone severely affected by mental illness.

Story

IThanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those who know me, will know i had mental health difficulties for the last few years.  I have a personality disorder which has caused difficulties and LOSSES in, friendships, relationships, my home, work and college.  I was lucky enough after hospitilization to be taken into recovery with the Community Care Trust who have helped me develop skills to fight fit and return to society with the skills to enjoy a more productive life.  I can beat my diagnoses and recover fully thanks to the support i was given and not carry a label anymore.    

Everyone has mental health, either good or poor, but what is certain is that poor mental health could affect anyone at anytime and that nobody is immune and we do not always know what the trigger will be. 

1 in 4 people are affected by poor menatl health, from mild depression and anxiety to bi-polar disorder.  Whatever the effect is it can be crippling for the individual suffering and lonely.  I was one of those people suffering and now i have the strength, I want to raise money for the future of others and those who need help now by participating in an ACCELERATED FREEFALL parachute jump.  You never know when you may need the support, or a friend of yours might, perhaps even a family member.  Please help and fight this battle and stigma along side me and donate to RETHINK .  Thank you.
