I passionately feel that being open and sharing your feelings can literally be the difference between life and death, and that is the most valuable legacy we can all take from the most tragic of endings to my Mum’s life that everybody can benefit from.

She was a warm, funny, selfless, and eternally understanding individual who would love to be remembered for the boundless love she shared with so many people. 

Why am I raising money for The Black Dog Campaign, powered by mental health charity - SANE?

It is very fitting that Mum so dearly loved dogs and that the black dog has become a symbol for raising awareness of mental health.
