Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the month of April I will be walking/running/cycling (maybe even a bit of kayaking) a total distance of 500km to raise money for Northamptonshire Mind. (Whilst also working full time and studying for 2 of my final accountancy exams!!).  

I have chosen Northamptonshire Mind as my charity to help spread awareness of mental health services available, and help break the stigma attached to mental health problems. Mental health covers a wide variety of issues that we may all experience in our lives and there is support out there.

Every week more than one in four experience a mental health problem, and one in five UK adults has considered taking their own life at some point. Only one in 8 adults with a mental health problem are currently getting any form of treatment. These statistics show just how important services, such as those provided by Northamptonshire Mind, are.

Mind offer a wide range of services including: helplines; information on types of mental health problems; wellbeing courses; counselling; help for supporting others who may be struggling; and so much more.

I would love to raise £500 (£1 per 1km covered). Any donation no matter how big or small would mean the world to me. (It is also my Birthday in April *wink wink* so if you want to get me anything a donation to my page would be amazing!).

If you would like to join me on any of my walks/runs/bike rides (socially distanced of course) please do drop me a message.

Lastly, if you've made it this far, thank you again for taking time to visit my page, and please remember there is always help out there.
