Story

Strathpuffer is a 24 hour mtb race that happens every January in Scotland, sadly the race has been cancelled due to covid. Rather than sit on the side lines and wait another year I am going to keep things alive by riding local. I will be doing laps of the XC circuit at Cathkin Braes MTB trails for 24 hours. In the spirit of Strathpuffer the event will start at 10am on Sat 9/1/21 and finish at 10am on Sun 10/1/21, Le mans start just like the real deal. 

I know a lot of people are fighting their own mental health struggles and the pandemic hasn't helped. Its not easy to tell someone that you are struggling and even harder to ask for help. I'd like to do my bit and raise money and awareness of the good work that SAMH do. If you would like to support then any donations are welcome. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.o £150 could help the SAMH Information Service provide phone and email support for people seeking support with their mental health. o £200 could fund our work in preventing suicide by delivering intervention training, vital research and creating information.o £250 could provide one-to-one support for children and young people who have been rejected from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
