The real joy from a challenge like this comes from the
knowledge that in walking we are supporting YoungMinds to deliver the
life enhancing support that is so important across our society today. It is an unfortunate fact that we will all be affected personally or have close family members or colleagues who experience mental health challenges. YoungMinds work across the UK to support children and young adults in managing their mental health, they provide training to healthcare professionals, support for those suffering, including providing advice for families/teachers/friends/colleagues, and— importantly—do much to encourage both government and society to change attitudes and priorities in respect of mental health awareness and treatment.
