This year, we've decided to support Rethink Mental Illness, something that effects so many of us out there in one way or another and is definitely on the increase. In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, global prevalence of anxiety and depression increased by a massive 25%, according to a scientific brief released by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Rethink's vision is for equality, rights, the fair treatment and maximum quality of life for all those affected by mental illness, their careers, family and friends. As one of the largest charitable providers of services for people living with mental illness, we are well placed to make a direct impact on the care people receive.

With this in mind we're risking another round of blistered feet and squeezing those beer guts into those tight vests again to do the 10miles of sheer hell and mud otherwise know as Tough Mudder.

Last year, you were amazing and helped us raise almost £8k and we appreciate any support this year, no matter what you can afford to pledge.

Massive thanks in advance X
