We’re Mind, the mental health charity, working across England & Wales. We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Whether you’re stressed, depressed or in crisis. We’ll listen, give support & advice, & fight your corner. Thanks for fundraising for national Mind.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 1 July at 3pm I am venturing forth in the Great Manchester Swim in Salford Quays to raise money for my chosen charity, Mind.

Mind is the leading mental health charity in England and Wales.  
Mental health problems are more common than you might think and can happen to anyone – one in four of the population will experience mental distress at some point this year. In our society mental health issues and the people affected are widely misrepresented and misunderstood.

For the past six months, I have been training my little arms and legs off in Clissold Pool and Hampstead Ponds so I will be ready to take on the waters of Windermere for the one mile slog. Yes it is going to be cold but there is no backing out now.

Oh and one mile is 65 (ish lengths) of a regular London council-run 25m pool so its quite a long way. 

 

Please sponsor my great swim, every penny of your sponsorship will go to Mind, which will raise awareness and promote good mental health for the benefit of all.

 

 

 Donating through JustGiving is dead easy, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it is the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, while saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate.

And if anyone is around Salford Quays at 3pm on 1 July come and cheer me on. I will have cold, mucky water in my ears so won't be able to hear you, but we can always go for a nice pint after.
