My story : - Last year my family experienced something that no family should ever have to go through, our child trying to take an overdose due to mental health issues and end their life. Sadly the support is just not there which resulted in 4 attempts and a visit to The Cove at Heysham. We finally started to get some help at the back end of 2024 after long term battles with doctors, medical staff to name but a few, which eventually resulted in a change of school and being put under CAHMS medical team. The journey is on going but I wanted to do something to support the mental health charities. Myself and a team of 17 strong have decided to do the Yorkshire Tough Mudder. We each have to try and raise £300 each. Every person doing it has their own story and reason but we all have a common goal in improving the mental health support that is so desperately needed for many. Any contribution would be appreciated (small or large). I want to bring awareness and help where possible.

A little from Mind: - Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling. We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We'll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner. When you're experiencing a mental health problem, supportive and reliable information can change your life. That's what we do. We empower people to understand their condition and the choices available to them.
