Hi,

Mind is an organisation that has helped me understand a lot about my own mental health as well as my close friends.

I wanted to give back to Mind and try to raise money by challenging myself. I figured the harder the challenge the more money I would be able to raise.

As much as I love music and DJing, this will be very difficult!

I will be streaming for 24 hours non stop from 12pm Sunday 26 March up until 12pm Monday 27 March (my b-day).

You can watch and listen to it all here: www.twitch.tv/MikeDrones (or the top of this page)

I feel this would also be a good opportunity to raise awareness to people who might not be aware of how bad mental health has affected people in this country.

1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts

1 in 14 people self-harm

1 in 15 people attempt suicide

This is just a tiny blip into what people are struggling with and I would like to encourage people to be kind to strangers and to check in with your friends as you don’t know what they’re going through.

If you are worried about yourself or a loved one then I would recommend speaking to someone at Mind - www.mind.org.uk

Be kind - Re wind! (and donate)

Thanks
