Hello!

Thank-you for visiting to my JustGiving Page. 

A very last minute, late night decision saw me sign up to the Cardiff Half Marathon Challenge for the amazing charity MIND. 

As something close to my heart, I want to support MIND, to help raise awareness of the amazing support the charity offer to people suffering with a mental health problem and their mission to help end the stigma surrounding mental illness. 

Although it's last minute, I'd love to reach my target so all donations are much appreciated! 

Thank-you!

Now...time to cram months of training into three week!!

Who are Mind?

At any point in time, one in four people are living and experiencing a mental health problem (and those are the ones we know about). But numbers like this don’t mean very much to us, because they’re too abstract or distant to really relate to. Unless you know someone with a mental health problem that is, then you might feel differently about these figures. I know I do.

Any donation is gratefully received and will make a real difference. It would be absolutely amazing if we could all come together to hit this target, and if you can’t donate, PLEASE share this page with as many people as possible. Even if it means that those people end up finding the charity for the first time, it could really, really help someone.

The work that Mind do is amazing, and to give you an idea of where the money that we'll raise together goes...

£10 could allow us to send essential information booklets about mental health to 40 people.

£40 could pay for 28 people to campaign for change on our behalf.

£70 could keep our online community, Elefriends, open and safe for two hours.

£120 could offer a lifeline to eight people in desperate need of support from our Mind legal line.

£200 could help us keep the Mind Info line open for 1 hour, helping 35 people.

£300 could support a young person bereaved by suicide to access 1:1 and group support.

£550 could provide five people struggling with their mental health a place in a 10-week well being group with team sports and cookery.
