This January, the RED community will be challenging themselves to get active every day. Whether running, swimming, cycling or choosing a favourite fitness activity, REDers will be going the extra mile to support themselves and others.Their fitness and fundraising efforts combined with your generosity will help continue Minds life-changing work, ensuring no-one has to face a mental health problem alone. Thank you.

4 years ago this January I lost a friend to suicide. As I get older and go through the big milestones in life - graduating, buying a house, getting married, I often think of them and how they will always be frozen in time when their life stopped at 21. 

I really hate running! But I want to support Mind and the work that they do so that other people's journeys don't have to be cut short by mental health problems.
