Mind really does do some amazing work in our community help support people that are struggling with mental health, so I have decided to run the Jane Tomlinson 10K to raise a few quid.

From my personal experience of losing a good friend to suicide while only in his twenty’s, to further losing another dear friend who I had great admiration and respect for, a person that had helped me many times with my own journey through life. I can honestly say, it’s always the good ones we lose to such tragedies. Loss that can never be replaced, and losses the world cannot afford to keep losing.

Suicide is an ever increasing epidemic and currently the single biggest killer of men in the UK under the age of 45. But what is just as concerning is the fact females are more likely to make attempts on their own lives. 

Mind is vital charity working hard to prevent people suffering with their mental health, and I know their expertise and help is needed more than ever, especially in the current aftermath of the pandemic. 

The lockdowns have effected everyone in some form or another, and had an untold impact on people's mental health. The economic downturn alone isn’t going to alleviate anytime soon and will bring with it some of the worst types of depravity and suffering known.

I know there are many wonderful charities, and we can't each give to each and everyone, but if you can spare a couple of quid, please consider giving to Mind.

A truly wonderful charity - Hull & East Yorkshire Mind.
