I’ll be taking part in a 5k a day for a week for LAMP in May! (Probably more walking than running but it all helps!) Please donate what you can to help this fabulous charity ❤️

Leicester-based mental health charity, Lamp has launched its major Lamp 5k fundraising campaign for 2023. This years campaign will take place from 15-21 May, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week, and focuses on the positive impact that physical exercise has on mental health.

The theme of this years Lamp 5k campaign is Climbing mountains for mental health so the charity also wants this campaign to not only be physical, but also virtual and metaphorical with the emphasis on overcoming obstacles to climb their own mental health mountain, whatever that might be.

On average, it costs around £750 for Lamp to help to navigate someone through the complexities of mental health and empower them to rebuild their life. Participants in the Lamp 5k are encouraged to get sponsorship for each kilometer covered/challenge achieved/mountain overcome.
