I am participating in my first ever Sprint Duathlon race in April to challenge myself and raise money for a charity very close to my heart.

It’s no secret, my struggles with my own mental health have been simply awful and have taken over such a huge part of my life. 

Without the continuous support of the best family and friends, and input from organisations like SAMH, I would not be in a position to be writing this message today. 

I will continue to work on myself, for myself and everyone around me, and hope that by setting myself this new challenge I can change my focus to something more positive for a stronger and healthier 2021, whilst raising money to help others who are in a similar situation to me. 

Fingers crossed Rona doesn’t stop this from going ahead, but I’m already working on a plan B just in case! 

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.

Thank you so much for supporting me in supporting SAMH. Together we will help challenge the stigma and work towards a happier, healthier and safer future for us all 💚🌈
