Story
We are the Mighty Nine, and we would really appreciate you sponsoring us on our grand walk this March.
We are walking from Lancaster to Kendal, for Lancashire Mind charity. The nine of us each have our own reasons to fundraise for this charity, but we can all agree that mental health is just as important as your physical health, and understand the importance of spreading awareness.
I have had quite a few of those closest to me previously struggle due to poor mental health, and I am doing this walk to help other people's friends
I chose Lancashire Mind because I could see the fantastic work they were doing, and wanted to do my bit to help.
With 1 in 4 people experiencing poor mental health, it's highly likely that that may include not only some of us, but also those you may know.
Far too many of those in our community are silently struggling due to mental health issues, but by donating to Lancashire Mind we can be certain that we can leave a positive impact on the form of workshops, shelter, and 1:1 support.

Of course donating isn't the only way to help. We understand that not everyone can, but we can all check in on those closest to us, and if you are feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place, the most important thing you can do is reach out.
The end date for donations counting towards our milestones ends on the 20th of March, but don't let that stop you donating to Lancashire Mind and other mental health charities even after we've finished our walk.
Milestones:
£100 - Scenic Route
£300 - Challenge Bowl (Every Hour)
£500 - Challenge Bowl (Every 30 Minutes)
£700 - Ask a stranger to join
£1000 - Corn Maze (Recorded)
£2000 (by the 27th) - Jack and some others do the walk again on the 28th , without the challenges
With a donation of £100 or greater you can submit a challenge of your choosing, so long as it doesn't prolong the walk by more than an hour, is completely legal, and does not disrupt the public (if for any other reason we cannot complete your challenge we will let you know, but you can ask us if your submission is suitable before donating through the Mighty Nine Instagram). You can also choose who will have to complete the challenge. The ability to suggest challenges will end on the 20th as we may have to pack extra.
