This January I am going to Run Every Day to raise some money for Solent Mind.

The crucial role mental health plays in our overall well being is so important, and yet so often overlooked and underappreciated, that any organisation doing good things to help people with mental health difficulties is fine by me and deserves support.

The way we think, about the ourselves and the world around us, affects the way we feel. The way we feel affects the way we act, (our behaviour) both towards ourselves and towards friends and family, our loved ones and out into society. And on it goes.

I really believe that having good mental health is the bedrock of living a positive, active and meaningful life. But from experience, I know the path to a healthy mind is often chaotic, confusing and frustrating. So please give Mind some help so they can in turn help others.
