Jonathan's Cloisters to Oysters Sponsored Bike Ride page
Jonathan Beer is raising money for Rethink Mental Illness
Story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. I'm signed up to ride in the Cloisters to Oysters sponsored bike ride on 27th August, in support of the charity Rethink Mental Illness. I would be enormously grateful if you would consider contributing to my target of £250 to support Rethink's work.
I'm riding to raise money to support Rethink's work to improve the way we talk and think about mental illness, and to help them to continue to provide support services for those living with mental illness. Rethink have been around since the 1970s, and have done incredible work encouraging the early diagnosis of and support for mental illness, and are huge providers of support to those who need it through the NHS. You can go learn more about them at rethink.org.
We will all know someone, most likely many someones, who is living with some form of mental illness. Some people can be and choose to be open about it; others can't or don't want to. Either way is entirely their choice. What's important is ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need to live, and to break down the stigmas that surround mental illness.
I'm grateful to be able to support Rethink's work, and I would be hugely grateful if you would sponsor me for this ride. I wish I could say I will ride tirelessly for your money, but I'm pretty sure by the end I'll be shattered!
