Story

Me and my pals are doing 100 miles each this October through hiking/cycling/running for CALM mental health charity.

Mental health is an important topic for me, I've struggled with my mental health, and I feel like everyone I know has struggled. Unfortunately I know a few people who have taken their own life because of their own mental health struggles and my guess is that most people know someone who has felt this is the only way out too.

This is why a charity like this is important, and taking part in not just raising money but also awareness and start the open conversation of mental health - it doesn't need to be a big dramatic thing, it's as simple as a walk and a catch up, a phone call for someone you haven't spoken to in a while or even checking in on a friend that's "acting out", isolating themselves.

All charities are worth while supporting but mental health runs alongside all. Those that are struggling with ill health- will be affecting loved ones supporting them in their mental health, but this will quietly take a back seat.

Please if you can, support us by donating what you can for an amazing charity that affects us all 🙏

We will start this on the 1st October and will upload our miles on our just giving page so you can track along with how well we are doing!
