Last year I ran the Colour Run to raise money for the NSPCC and this year I'm taking it to the next level! Somehow I've ended up agreeing to to jump out of a plane to raise even more money for them! I have never (apart from when I was 18 months old - which I don't remember) even been in a plane so it is crazy to think I'll be jumping out of one! But it's all in aid of a good cause to make sure the NSPCC can continue their amazing work for children and young people, so please donate if you can!
The NSPCC had been a huge part of my life in the past 4 years through both being supported by Childline and volunteering with their Participation Unit where I've had a chance to give back! I have struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, self-harm and low mood since around the age of 14. Childline played a massive part in my recovery and were the reason I was able to seek professional help. At it's worst I was unable to stay in lessons due to panic attacks, meaning that I became very isolated and daily life became a massive struggle. I contacted Childline through their 1-2-1 chat because I felt unable to talk about it in person. With their amazing help and support I finally felt able to ask for help and had a voice again. Childline still remained a massive part of my support network throughout my recovery and I am forever grateful for all they do!
I'm so terrified but also so excited! Bring on October!
