Hi everyone

If you're reading this you'll know that my mum Nancy Smith recently died after a severe stroke and pneumonia.  Both terrible things, but mum suffered from three other horrible conditions for far longer:  anxiety, depression and vascular dementia.   The mix of the three things made her life really, really hard for her final three years and she silently endured regular bouts of depression for much of her adult life.  

I was going to raise money for MIND last year by walking the Pennine Way, but then COVID happened.  So this is an opportunity for me to try to do the same again, to coincide with my mum's funeral.  

I hope this page will reach lots of people who won't be able to be there in person for whatever reason.  I know she would be very grateful for whatever donation you can give, of whatever size. 

Many thanks for reading and hopefully donating
