Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Although I work for Visyon it's personal experiences that motivate me each day to have a positive impact on the lives of children facing mental health challenges.

Those who’ve known me a long time know I’ve done lots of crazy stuff to fundraise from skydiving to climbing a rollercoaster…and a few things that have required some level of physical training, which I’m not a fan of. I spent Christmas on crutches and in 8 months will be taking on the biggest physical challenge of my life…and unlike a skydive I’ll have to do more than 20 minutes training!

I signed up a while ago now but have felt too scared of the reality to share what I’m doing so here goes…

In October I set off for 9 days to China, with a group of Visyon supporters, to walk parts of The Great Wall…not all of it as that would take approximately 18 months! The distance isn’t the challenge on this event, it’s the steep climbs to the watchtowers (27 on one day!) and areas of rough terrain from the 600 year old crumbled walls…and over consecutive days 😬🥴😭

So I now need holding accountable and this is where you kindness kicks in, please be generous or I’ll have to drop out 🤔😂

Thanks to your donations Visyon are able to offer free, confidential support, creating a safe space for children to express their feelings and receive the help they need.
