On the 30th June, we will be attempting a 60 mile, one day sponsored walk across Norfolk & Suffolk, hiking in order to raise money and awareness for Norfolk & Waveney MIND, which is not only our partner charity but an organisation that is close to our hearts. The walk will be to Lowestoft, Caister-on-Sea, Wroxham, Unthank Road and onto Dereham in one day.

Here are some helpful facts that may help you understand why we want to support MIND charity:

• Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50y/o.
• 17 people die every day from suicide, around 1 every 75 minutes.
• 20% of women aged 16-24 report having self-harmed.
• 801 residents of Norfolk died by suicide in the last 10 years.

To tackle this, MIND Norfolk & Waveney directly help those in need, and have supported 10,000 local people in just the first 3 months of 2022. With the drop in support centres, professional counselling, and their incredible crisis teams to help those in urgent need, we know money raised will help people in our local communities.

From coming out of a pandemic, to listening to the wars on the news, we know its a tough time. So now, maybe more than ever, the people of Norfolk & Waveney need the fantastic members of MINDs team.

Jamie & Alex will be joined by members of the team (and anyone else who wants to join) to have open chats about life, in the hope it encourages more people to speak up. This is your reminder to check on your friends, family and colleagues.

Any amount is greatly appreciated, no matter how big or small, so thank you for taking the time to read and hopefully you can help MIND and us, on the journey.

For every mile we are not able to finish, through injury, illness or any other reason, we will donate £100 per mile to Mind. 

Thank you, from the Minors & Brady family x
