Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

From June 12 – 22 June 2014 I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro is the ‘Roof of Africa’ standing at 5895 meters (19,340 ft). The group will trek the mountain over 7 days taking the Lemosho route. I will experience severe weather changes, trekking through different climate zones and changes in altitude.

 

Through taking on this physical and mentally tough challenge I hope to inspire people who face barriers to physical activity, and motivate them to achieve their goals.

 

Young Minds is the UKs leading charity who are committed to improving the emotional well-being and mental health of children and young people. They empower children and young people to share experiences with professionals and policy makers to improve mental health services and outcomes. They provide crucial support to parents and carers by offering a free helpline. As well as, providing training courses to anyone who works with children and young people, enabling them to identify mental health needs.

 

Young Minds is relevant to many of the people I have worked with, as some feel they were not given enough support as a young person with mental illnesses. This charity is instrumental in ensuring that support it available through early intervention, which is crucial for young people.

£50 can help young minds campaign to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health

£25 can help a distressed parent who rings the parent helpline
