I'm getting active this March and taking action to change the lives of young trans people across the UK.

Last year I ran 25 miles in the month of March to raise funds for Mermaids and this year I'm upping it to 50 miles! Except this year I'll mostly be going for long walks to not only improve my physical health but my mental health.

I'm challenging myself to get active for one very important reason. To help ensure trans young people and their families can continue to access the emotional, informative, and peer-to-peer support they deserve.

Mermaids' vision is a safe, inclusive society where trans young people are empowered to live their best lives.

Mermaids say: Our amazing supporters are the reason we’re able to keep helping the trans community, year after year. So this March, we’re asking you to get active with your fundraising by taking on Miles for Mermaids.
