To commentate a year since Millie suddenly past a way I am attempting to cycle the height of Mt Everest (8849m climbing) in 24hrs to raise money for a mental health ministry called “Love, Millie” at Fabric Church in Manchester (Millie’s Church in Manchester).

I am doing this to celebrate her life, whilst also to push myself to learn from her example of constant enthusiasm, joy and determination even in the hardest times. I have chosen this particular challenge because even though the mental health epidemic in the young adults and students of this generation can seem like an impossible mountain to move, I want to have a level of faith in Jesus (that I know Millie did) that believed that he can move mountains (Matt 17:20).

“Love, Millie” seeks to see Fabric Church play it’s part in ensuring that every Manchester student who is struggling with their mental health or struggling with suicidal ideation can access appropriate support and hear first hand that they are known and loved by God. This support service will be provided by Fabric Church, Millie's local church in Manchester where she loved being involved.

Love, Millie will be a ministry of Fabric Church which is a Church of England plant church in the diocese of Manchester. The church is governed by a board of trustees (Manchester CCRC Trust) who will have oversight of any funds raised for this initiative. Any funds raised for Love, Millie will be designated as for that purpose only and ring-fenced in a separate account. There will be no use of these funds for the routine running of the church or delivery of other ministries.
