Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Hi I'm Jon Turley. Myself and Dermid Arthur are teachers from Aboyne Academy, and we have both seen the effects the pressures of the past months have had on the students within our school. Multiply this by all the thousands of pupils around the UK and it is evident that mental health issues not only with students but with large sections of the population have had a profound effect on society. So, on the 16th -18th October this year we are both going to attempt to swim from Invercauld Bridge near Breamar through to Aberdeen rowing club, a total of around 64 miles (103 klm) over 3 days. It's a bit daft but it's for a great cause and hopefully the money will go some way to helping pupils and adults through this extraordinary time we are in. Please dig deep and help us smash our target. Here are some of the services your donations could help us with. £150 could help the SAMH Information Service provide phone and email support for people seeking support with their mental health.  £200 could fund our work in preventing suicide by delivering intervention training, vital research and creating information. £250 could provide one-to-one support for children and young people who have been rejected from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
