2025 is the year I decided to start saying YES. Yes to being more present, yes to prioritising my wellbeing and yes to jumping out of a perfectly functional plane to raise money for a good cause.

Over the last few years I have struggled with bouts of poor mental health. While I've been grateful for the support of friends, family and being able to afford a therapist, there are many who aren't as fortunate as me. Recent studies show waiting lists for mental health support via the NHS can be as long as 18 months, which is a long time to wait when a person is in crisis.

The Mental Health Foundation is the UK's charity for everyone's mental health.

With prevention at the heart of what they do, the Mental Health Foundation aims to find and address the sources of mental health problems so that people and communities can thrive. I'm aiming to raise £400 to support their vital work with the skydive booked (there's no going back) on Monday 12th May.

Please donate!

Please speak to your loved ones about difficult things!

And please be nice to yourself, because it's a tough world out there.
