I'm taking part in the Bogle, a 78 mile cycle, to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness.

Rethink Mental Illness is a charity which provides emotional support for sufferers of mental illness and undertakes research. They also fight to alleviate misconceptions surrounding mental illness, which often label sufferers of mental illness with a stigma. I believe this is a relevant issue, for if a diagnosis of a mental illness wasn't accompanied by this sort of stigma, more people would seek help when they needed it.

I hope you can all find it within yourselves to support such a passionate charity, and I encourage you to read some of the stories of people they've helped. They're doing life changing work, and I feel proud to have the opportunity to do my bit to support them.
