On the 12th September I will be walking around 16 miles along the River Clyde between Glasgow and Dumbarton Castle alongside my Virgin Money colleagues. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good walk. It's always been good for my own peace of mind. So it only seems right that I should walk for everyone's Mind.

Recent events in my own life have proven how devastating the effects of poor mental health can be on all, even if we are not suffering personally. At a time of mental health crisis I'm looking to raise as much money as possible to support a cause, which in some way touches every single one of us. Any donation, large or small, will be gratefully received.

Every year, 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in the UK. And the support that people need isn’t available, with millions on waiting lists for mental health treatments. That’s why Mind and SAMH’s services are more important than ever.

Virgin Money colleagues have chosen to support SAMH and Mind in the fight for mental health from January 2024. Join us in raising vital funds towards their services.

All donations to this JustGiving page will be split equally between Mind (charity no. 219830) and Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) (charity no. SC-008897).
