Story

Paul Morris has raised an amazing £715 to date! 

 

 

Sponsored Cycle Ride from Oxford to Leeds and Back!

Approximately 350 miles!

 

Paul Morris has decided to take up the challenge of cycling from Oxford to Leeds to raise funds for Oxfordshire Mind.  Paul has experienced first hand the work the charity does and he has benefited from being involved in the music groups at The Mill (one of Mind’s Oxford based adult wellbeing projects).  Paul has been learning to play the Guitar and has enjoyed the experience so much that he’d like to raise funds to develop the music group so that it may be accessed by more people.

 

Psychological Benefits of Cycling

 

Cycling develops a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem.  It heightens your sense of well-being, increases your energy level, reduces stress and soothes your body and mind.

 

Thank you for sponsoring the participant to take part in this event.  The funds you have donated will help support people living with mental and emotional health problems such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, life crisis, loneliness, recovery from breakdowns, panic attacks, post-natal depression, stress and schizophrenia.

 

Over 5,000 people used Oxfordshire Mind’s services last year.

 

Oxfordshire Mind is funded through grants, contracts, fundraising and donations.  Every year Oxfordshire Mind aims to raise £30,000 to develop it services and help more people.  So much needs to be done… and Oxfordshire Mind is committed to helping as many people as we can!
