Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This spring I'm cycling 1000 miles across the length of the UK unsupported, in 10 days in order to support the fantastic work that rethink do. Thats 100 miles a day...10 days in a row!

I've chosen this charity as its close to my heart and to my family.

For my family, this has been a close encounter. Sometime ago now, a family member became so overwhelmed, illness very nearly took her life.

But in her own words:

"Its bean a tough journey but my friends and family have given me hope and helped me get through. You can have a mental illness and lead a rewarding life. I am one of the lucky ones who responds to medication and gets better all the time. I feel fortunate."
