One year ago I exited therapy from depression, having had at least a year long battle with it. Since then I have worked hard to prevent myself from falling back into a negative place, including learning how to bake and draw (partially on the latter!). COVID has been challenging but I am so fortunate that my recovery ended before it started, and I have been able to beat it completely.  

Sadly COVID has had a negative impact on mental health for many people and I want to help people out who may be suffering and don't know where to turn to for help during this challenging time. Mind works with people suffering with ill mental health and helps them to beat their demons. Having experienced it, no one should suffer ill mental health alone, and for that reason I want to raise money so that others can get the help if they need it. 

Giving up desserts of any kind will be a big challenge for those who know me, I will be dessert free for 8 weeks - please donate if you can, it would mean a lot to me :)
