Story
Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page for my Yorkshire 3 Peaks fundraiser in aid of my charity, Sporting Wellness.
Sporting Wellness was founded in 2019 when I was 18, after my personal struggles with mental health as a cricketer.
Through this experience, I discovered a significant inequality in the availability of mental health services for athletes across the UK, leaving many without any support. Factors such as injuries, deselection, identity issues, and performance anxiety make athletes of all levels vulnerable to mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Not to mention - all athletes are humans first and we all can go through tough times.
Sporting Wellness provides free, professional and confidential mental healthcare to all competitive athletes in the UK, regardless of sport, without waiting lists, minimum illness requirements, or confidentiality breaches.
To date, we are proud to have supported over 1,700 athletes in 114 sports, providing counselling sessions, legal guidance, a 24/7 support line, and much more.
To continue to grow our reach and make professional mental healthcare the norm for athletes in the UK, we need to continue raising funds. On July 22nd, I will be walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with other supporters of Sporting Wellness. It's a 24-mile challenge expected to take around 12 hours.
Any donations, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated by myself and everyone at Sporting Wellness.
Thank you,
Callum
