Mental Health Awareness Week Skydives 2025 · 12 May 2025 to 18 May 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

The Mental Health Foundation believe no-one living in the UK should be deprived of the opportunity for good mental health because ​of who they are, the community they come from or where they live​. We’re developing better ways to support good mental health in every community.

Story

I am SOOO excited to be skydiving with my good friend, Paul Finch to raise vital funds for Mental Health Foundation; a charity immensely close to my heart. The MHF provide crucial support to prevent & improve poor mental health so that everyone can have the opportunity to live a full & healthy life.

My personal experience of depression & anxiety was medically diagnosed in 2019, with self-diagnosis much earlier. Fuelled by its destructive association with alcohol addiction, suppressed childhood trauma, menopause, and subsequent breakdown of family life, I had convinced myself that suicide was my only option. It was during this period of darkness & despair that I finally received & gratefully accepted life-saving support ❤

Mental health issues are so common & widespread nowadays; affecting families, relationships, careers & social interaction. The negative stigma and lack of knowledge & understanding by society is ever present. The sufferers often suffer in silence as a result. This needs to CHANGE, and your kind donations can help promote that. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ❤

So, if you are able to, please support our incredible cause today 🙏 Your donations will help to breathe new life into the souls that so desperately need it 🙏 You can also help support by sharing my JustGiving link with family & friends who may have personal experience of this debilitating illness ❤

Paul & I are extremely grateful for your consideration, kindness & generosity 💞 God bless you all 🙏 xx
