I'm walking the virtual distance from Land's End to John o'Groats over the course of a year to raise funds for It Gets Better UK, a charity dedicated to empowering, inspiring and uplifting LGBTQ+ youth.

Studies show that LGBTQ+ young people are twice as likely to feel lonely and more than twice as likely to worry daily about their mental health compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers.

Additionally, 55% of LGBTQ+ 11 to 18-year-olds are worried about their mental health on a daily basis, compared to just 26% of their non-LGBTQ+ peers.

A third (31%) of LGBTQ+ young people have self-harmed, compared to just 9% of non-LGBTQ+ young people.

Seven in ten (68%) LGBTQ+ young people have experienced suicidal thoughts and feelings, compared to 29% of young people who are not LGBTQ+.

Your donation will directly support It Gets Better UK's initiatives, helping to create a world where every LGBTQ+ young person can thrive. Thank you for supporting me and this important cause!
