This October I’m taking on the challenge of walking 90 miles to raise money for MIND, and I wanted to share why I’ve chosen to do it.

Mental health is something that has affected me personally. Eight years ago, after my son was born, he spent some time in hospital. It was a really difficult time for us, and afterwards I found myself struggling more and more. I reached a really low point and was diagnosed with postnatal depression.

It was a time in my life that I’ll never forget, and it made me realise just how important it is to talk about mental health and not be afraid to ask for help.

I’ve also had friends and family who have been affected by mental health in different ways, so it’s a cause that is very close to my heart.

That’s why I’ve decided to challenge myself to walk 90 miles throughout October. It’s going to be a big challenge, but knowing that I’m doing it to raise money and awareness for something that means so much to me will hopefully keep me going when my legs are telling me otherwise!

If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Every donation, however big or small, will help MIND continue the amazing work they do.

And if you can’t donate, even sharing my fundraiser would mean a lot to me.

Thank you for your support ❤️
