So many of us suffer with Mental Illness and don’t get the correct help or even talk about our issues. For me personally I was always ashamed of my Mental Health. I often had it used against me making the problems worse, making me vulnerable and an easier target for abuse. People are now realising and seeing Mental Problems as an illness. With this I feel I can talk freely about my issues without feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

Nobody should have to face Mental Illness alone. Mind gives people a way forward, gives the support people need and lets people know they are not alone. Along many other great things which you can find on their website.

In 2017 my Dad took his own life at just 50 years old. Men are less likely to seek help than woman. This needs to change. Nobody should feel guilty or embarrassed to ask for help. Masking problems with drugs is not the answer and will always make matters worse. Unfortunately a lot of people take this road to escape the problems in their life and mind.

I chose this charity as it very close to my heart and do fantastic work. Stephen Fry is the president and a bipolar sufferer. He is now open about his issues, proving it doesn’t matter what your financial or social status Mental Illness can affect anybody from any walk of life.

Please sponsor me and I will have to jump. I am well and truly petrified!!!
