Hi everyone This is Mark the Mad Hatter !!

So after conquering the Championship in 21/22 and the Premier League in 23/24 I am back on 2 wheels to take on the challenge of cycling to all of Luton Town's away League 1 and cup games in 26/27 season on my 'EVERY MIND MATTERS' challenge while supporting a number of incredible charities that encourage and support awareness of a variety of mental health charities and organisations which are summarised below and would appreciate your support across the season please.

Thank you

ALZHEIMERS SOCIETY

https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/

One million live with Dementia in the UK and 1 in 14 people over 65 suffer with Dementia, Alzheimers doesn't just effect the people suffering but has a big impact on loved ones, families and friends.

I have choosen this charity to support my close friends Barbara and David and families who receive incredible support from Peer support groups for people and families living with dementia for people with the diagnosis and it gives them a chance to speak to others who may be going through similar things as well as practical support to make sure that no family has to struggle on their own.

ALL OF YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS WILL HELP SUPPORT DEMENTIA CARE AND SERVICES IN MILTON KEYNES, LUTON AND BEDFORDSHIRE.

THE OLLIE FOUNDATION

The OLLIE Foundation delivers a wide range of suicide prevention and well-being programmes designed to empower people at every level of society. Its work includes: awareness talks, accredited training courses, postvention and bereavement support for those affected by suicide. OLLIE’s training offer includes recognised programmes which focus on early intervention and building confidence in responding to crisis situations.

At the heart of OLLIE’s work is a clear and powerful mission: to equip individuals, organisations and communities with the skills, knowledge and confidence to recognise the signs of distress and offer effective support to those at risk. Through this approach, the charity aims to ensure that no one feels suicide is their only option.

Your generous donations will allow The OLLIE Foundation to continue the great work in the community to raise awareness that there is help available for anyone with suicidal thoughts.
