First there was an idea to run the Swansea Half Marathon…

However, I wanted to do something special for my 23^rd
birthday, so I thought why not complete 23 events?!  

Seeing as Llanelli Mind was celebrating its 30^th birthday
I thought let’s do 30!

                                                                       

I want to support the charity Mind, raise awareness towards the great support that they offer, and help bring an end to the stigma that is attached to those who suffer from mental health problems.  I feel so strongly that no matter how or what you may be feeling you should be treated with dignity, respect and receive the best care possible.  

I’ve seen first-hand the impact  Mental Health and Illness has upon family, friends, course mates and even myself. That's not including seeing how some people are ignored or even too scared to talk about anything that they may be experiencing.  We need more awareness and more understanding and we need to do more to reduce the number of people of all ages who are suffering in silence.
