Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2014, my girlfriend's wonderful, caring and completely selfless mum took her own life, after suffering with severe anxiety and depression for 18 months.

Her mum was only 64 when she died. She'd just retired after a successful career in Audiology and should have had so much to look forward to. Unfortunately, her life ended much too soon.

I want to raise awareness about the devastation that mental health problems can cause, not only to the sufferer, but to their family and friends. 

Sadly, my girlfriend's mum didn't make it through the dark cloud of anxiety and depression, but hopefully, with help from charities like Mind, other sufferers will get the help they need, so that their close ones don't have to say goodbye too soon.
