Hey guys! I am doing the 26 mile Bogle Walk (http://www.manchesterrag.com/bogle/) on the 7th March in memory of my dear friend Rachel Gow, who sadly passed away at the end of 2014.

She was bright, funny, caring, beautiful, and was loved by her friends and family dearly. However she had suffered for a long time with depression and anxiety, which she was undergoing treatment for, but she felt strongly about not receiving the same treatment options that she would have had if she had had a different postcode; that not all services were being provided by all nhs trusts, and that access to these services should have been equal to everyone and not based on where you happen live.

Mind is a mental health charity, which has campaigned for these changes. In addition they provide information and support , drop in centres, crisis helplines, and training schemes, and work towards removing the social stigma associated with having a mental health problem. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
