Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page. As a teenager and even in adult life I have had struggles with my mental health. My own struggles led me into my current job as a children's mental health practitioner in an early intervention and prevention service.

The Challenge

In my role I encourage children to face their fears and do activities they value to improve their mood. So after struggling with my own mental health over the past few months I decided I need to take my own advice and do things I value to improve my mood. Which is why I have set up Challenge Shana to raise money to help others and to work on my own irrational fears.

This will involve me doing a challenge a month until my birthday next year, May 2024. These will be either physical challenges or based on my own fears (I.e. animals that fly, heights and open water). My first challenge will take place in June and will be a zipline over Penrhyn Quarry, being face down and reaching speeds upto 100mph.
