Many people in the UK and across the world know someone who struggles with mental health difficulties or face mental health difficulties themselves.
MIND charity reports that approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. In England, 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week.
In line with the Mental Health Awareness week for the UK Avon Valley Runners are hosting a FREE and FRIENDLY virtual run/walk event lasting a week for all abilities and ages, raising money for MIND. Everyone is welcome! Each day there will be 5 different themes along with a virtual challenge at the weekend! We just want as many people to join in, have fun and help promote good mental health and importance of talking when we start to struggle.
