Story

Hiya, I am Lee, I am planning to run 5 kilometers every day in September 2022, to raise awareness for mental health, especially among men and donate the funds to the local charity Kettering mind. 

Why mental health? 

4 years ago, I was taking care of a family member who was at the peak of their mental health problems when I noticed that I too have some mental health problems, which include ADHD, social anxiety, OCD and clinical depression. 

Why focus on men's mental health? 

Although it is said that, only 1 in 4 people have mental health problems. I think that it's more than that. Especially it's more common among men. But due to the fear of being stigmatised, I believe its stops more men from accepting the fact that they have mental health problems. So it makes men release their energy in unhealthy ways through anger, substance abuse or heavy alcohol consumption and overworking. This results in men being withdrawn from their relationships and life in general.

 So I want to bring awareness to this and encourage men to come forward to seek help and take care of their mental health so it can lead them to a happier life in their relationships with others and themselves. 

Why Kettering mind? 

Local mental health charities are so important, not only because we can get help but also because it brings an awareness that it is OK to seek help. So due to my personal history with them and the help they are giving out to vulnerable people I would like to donate the money to them. 


Thanks, any amount of your money helps people who want to get better mentally and lead happier lives.
