One in four people suffer from mental health problems at some stage in their life, be it bereavement, anxiety and stress or more severe long term conditions. Our NHS is over loaded and under resourced to deal with the volume of support needed.

I have seen friends and loved ones suffer from a system that offers limited support after being on long waiting lists, and counsellors who  just don't have enough capacity to give the intense interventions needed when people are in crisis.

Without organisations like MCTC, this epidemic in society only worsens. The counselling and therapy interventions rely on fund raising. 

So, if my descent down a (very!) high tower helps even a small handful of people to get the support they so desperately need, then the dry mouth, shaky legs and fear of stepping over the edge will be all worthwhile. Pray for a sunny day and no lightning :)
