After a difficult year for all, looking after our mental health has never been so important. I will be going sober for the month of March which, for those who know me know, is no mean feat. On top of this, I will also be running 100k in the month. Both of these endeavours will challenge me in the best way possible and work wonders for my mental health.

Losing Nicola (Chappers) a year ago was heartbreaking and that loss is something that will live with many of us for the rest of our lives. Knowing that charities like NOW can help people that are suffering with poor mental health by providing counselling and much needed support and knowing that this support could save a life is all the motivation I need to succeed in this challenge.

Networks of Well-being is a Huntly based charity, focusing on the promotion of Mental Health resilience across the NHS Grampian area.
