Running for Mind and James Wentworth-Stanley Memorial Fund
Verity Bedford-Read is raising money for Mind
In memory of Mike Thompson
Story
On July 12th I'll be running in the Leeds 10k to raise money for Mind and the James Wentworth-Stanley Memorial Fund. Any money raised will be split equally between the two.
I've decided to run for these charities to raise money in memory of Mike who sadly left us last October.
Mental illness affects 1 in 3 people. Chances are everyone will know someone who has suffered or will suffer with depression, stress or anxiety. By discussing mental illness and raising awareness, we will help reduce the stigma and encourage people to get help before it's too late.
The James Wentworth-Stanley Memorial Fund were of great comfort to Mike's family in their time of need, and they fund a number of important and closely related initiatives. The JWSMF was set up following the loss of James, another loved, bright and successful young person; which is remarkably similar and shocking. http://www.jwsmf.org/ is their site, so please take a look at how your donations will help.
Please give whatever you can; every penny will help make a difference.
