Story
This year I’ve decided to participate in Newcastles half marathon known as The Great North Run. I've always wanted to do this event even though I haven’t ran further than 10K so this really is my biggest challenge yet but there is no better time to do it. Even better to be raising money for a great cause close to my own, my family and friends hearts but also within the industry of work I’m in. As mental health and suicide rates are at an all time high and MIND is essential to help support the on going battle.
Any donations are greated appreciated.
Roll on September 8th - I’m knackered already!
"Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need.
This has to change.
We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you.
We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems.
We support minds – offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.
And we connect minds. Bringing together and unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference."
Join us in the fight for mental health. We won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.
