Did you know that Mental health affects 1 in 4.
So you will most likely know somebody affected. 

• Between 2003 and 2013, 18,220 people with mental health problems took their own life in the UK.²
• Suicide is the most common cause of death for men aged 20-49 years in England and Wales.

We wouldn't want a loved one to go through the day to day struggles of mental health alone or be scared to speak up. nor would we want a loved one to attempt or actually take their own life because they were too scared to speak about it.

Scientifically speaking nobody needs a reason to be depressed. Depression is when certain chemicals in your brain become unbalanced. You can have a perfect life and still have depression.

Mental health needs to be spoken about. People need to recognise the signs. People need to be educated so they can step up and help loved ones. There's so many different types of mental health which we should take all seriously. 

People are suffering in silence, too ashamed to speak out for fear of being judged. I want to help as many people as possible to receive the help, love and support to get better. Having a mental illness is as normal as having diabetes, a headache or a broken arm. Yet it isn't viewed as such. Let's break the stigma. Let's talk about mental health. Let's raise money and awareness.

People don't choose to have mental illness. But we can choose to help, support and help get rid of the stigma.

Even if you don't donate to me but you go away and think of mental health differently and be there for somebody or if you're suffering you go and speak up about your mental health. that will make a huge difference to yourself or somebody you love.
