Hey guys!
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!
So for the past 8 years we have been making spontaneous, crazy, random, fun adventures together! These are usually instigated by one of us asking the other to impulsively get involved in something, shouting "man up" and voila it is happening!! This happened again about a month ago when we heard Gung-ho was coming to Birmingham, by the way the both of us cannot run for s**t!! We do love a challenge though, and Sabrina regularly falls over being a clutz, so what better way to challenge ourselves than to run the biggest 5k in the world and throw ourselves over giant inflatable obstacles whilst inevitably falling over...a lot!
We decided to fundraise for Mind - the mental health charity in the process. We have both worked/work in the Mental health sector, and are passionate about mental health, raising awareness, supporting services/resources and reducing stigma. Mind embodies all of this and more!
Good mental health is fundamental to our wellbeing. It is at the core of who we are and how we experience the world. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet so little is commonly known or recognised about mental health and wellbeing. This needs to stop, time to change, time to talk!
We have all experienced and/or been impacted by mental health problems individually or by loved ones. 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year, which makes this a great cause of interest and invest.
Any donation small or big will be a huge encouragement and motivator for us! Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you
Sabrina & Rachel xxxxx :)
