One in four of us have had or will experience mental health problems over our lifetime. We probably all have people close to us that have suffered to a greater or lesser extent with mental health issues. 

I know from personal experience how essential it is to have support from mental health professionals when necessary and am incredibly grateful to the dedicated and selfless work of these people on behalf of my friends and family.  So as a small token of thanks my brother and I intend to cycle from London to Paris, something way beyond our rather sedentary comfort zones and requiring significant training and focus. 

SO - Please do give to MIND generously. They are a fabulous organisation doing great work and we desperately need them to keep it going. Examples of where your money will go: 

Every £8 gives someone in need access to the Mind helpline team.

Every £15 gives someone in need access to a counsellor. 

Every £21 maintains the online support service (Elefriends) for one hour.

THANK YOU - NICK X
