Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Great North Run in memory of my father-in-law David Wheatley, who sadly took his own life last year after years of suffering from depression and anxiety. 

I hope any money raised can help towards local services for those suffering similar issues. These services include funding activities to support individuals wellbeing and mental health including 1:1 counselling and peer support sessions. Worryingly the demand for these services is on the up with very little funding available. Mental health issues are thought to affect 1 in 4 of us, young and old.  A huge thank you in advance to anyone kind enough to donate, I can guarantee your money will directly go towards supporting very valuable and worthy services. Thank you 😊.
