My Story

I'm doing a skydive to raise money for Mind because I've lost too many friends to suicide. I've also struggled with depression myself, and I know how important it is to have access to mental health support.

My friend, Kieran Blake, was an amazing musician and a truly kind person. He always made me smile, and I'll never forget his laugh. But Kieran was also struggling with depression, and he took his own life at the beginning of March 2023.

Kieran's death was a huge shock to me, and it made me realise how important it is to talk about mental health. Suicide is the leading cause of death for people under 35, and it's a disease that can affect anyone.

I'm also a suicide survivor. I've struggled with depression since I was a teenager, and I've been in some very dark places. But I've also found help, and I'm so grateful to be here today.

After loosing over 25 stone i've had a long journey and now can safely do this skydive

I'm doing this skydive to raise money for Mind because I want to help other people who are struggling with mental health. I want to show them that they're not alone and that there is help available.

I also want to break down the stigma around mental health. It's not something to be ashamed of, and it's something that can be treated.

If you're struggling with mental health, please know that you're not alone. There is help available, and you don't have to go through this alone.

Please donate to my fundraiser to help Mind continue its important work. Every penny raised will make a difference.

Thank you for your support.
