My Story:

For many years mental health was a taboo subject: my own dad married my mum - bless them - the day he was discharged from a mental health hospital - that's where the story starts and ends; nothing more was really said about it after then.

Many of us know someone - or have suffered ourselves ...

Things have moved on - thank God - there's more talk, acceptance and understanding.

Part of my job, as a teacher, is to educate pupils and parents about the importance of wellbeing: physical and mental.

This is a 'mental' challenge I'm undertaking for a mental health cause.

Please help me complete it; more importantly to support 'Mind'.

Mind's Story: We won't give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect.

We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.
