I am taking on the 25.5 miles of the Test Way Walk to support Solent Mind, our local mental health charity.

Mental health affects us all, and too many people struggle without the support they need.

I've faced my own struggles with depression, anxiety and having intrusive thoughts. I have benefitted from the support and guidance of Solent Mind. Not to mention the support network that are my friends and family.

Every donation genuinely makes a difference. It helps fund crisis support, counselling, peer groups, workplace training, youth services, and community outreach. It helps Solent Mind be there for someone at the exact moment they need it most. It saves lives.

If you can, please donate and help Solent Mind continue their vital work. Together, we can make sure no one in our community has to face mental health problems alone.

Not only will your donation support mental health services but 20% of fundraised income goes to the Rotary Club of Romsey Test, so they can continue putting on this event, and supporting local charities like Solent Mind throughout the year across our whole community.

If you are struggling right now, reach out and talk to someone. It's okay to not be okay. The world is a much better place with you here.

Thank you for supporting my challenge.
