Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. (terms and conditiony stuff at the bottom) 

I'm doing this because mental health problems still have a stigma attached to them. Talking about them or having them, it's usually the case that it gets played down and made out to be 'not a real problem', as many people know this is absolutely not the case. 

As someone who has had a chronic medical condition most of my life and also had these issues get the better of me on several occasions, I can tell you they are absolutely as real as anything else you go to the doctors for.

Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.

I think for men especially it can be hard to find outlets to discuss these kinds of issues. SANE provide a lifeline to people in these situations which needs supporting as much as possible especially with the NHS's resources so over stretched. 

So, if you can chuck in a couple of quid that would genuinely make a difference here. 

You are also welcome to come down and heckle me, shout abuse on the day. I go running a fair bit so to push myself I am going for the shortest time possible and will be downing a load of pre-workout in a hungover state so will likely throw up and make an idiot of myself!
