We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone.

Story

I am competing in the upcoming White Collar MMA event, being held at the Radisson Hotel on the 9th of November.

Over the last year I have decided to push myself and challenge my boundaries, as a result I started training again but this time I took up the challenge of training and competing in MMA.

There are many reasons I made the choice to commence training again and push myself, but my main reason was to improve my mental health and to learn a little bit more about who I am. MMA has given me the chance to do this, it has taken me out of my comfort zone and has given me the opportunity to improve my focus and discipline (those who know me will know I needed this!).

I am therefore using this event to raise funds for Mind Jersey. Mind Jersey promotes and protects good mental health for the island by offering advice, support or just listening to what people have to say. Read more about them here www.mindjersey.org

I believe that mental health is one of, if not the most important areas that needs attention. Mental health is relevant to everyone, we’re either coping with our mental state or not & can be affected indirectly by someone close to us who may be struggling. Any one of us can be compromised at any time but addressing these issues with the help of our agencies will hopefully release the stigma on mental health & get it the recognition it so desperately needs.. Jersey does offer free services to help people with their mental health and Mind Jersey can assist with this, but they can't do it without our help.

With this in "Mind", this charity is a great match for my reasons of why I'm competing in the event. I should be grateful for any donations, no matter how big or small that can assist with my goal to help this amazing charity.

Thanks

Ryan
