Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Like most of us, mental health can touch anyone's life at any time, I'd like to share my story as to why it's important we raise money for this charity.

For me this was on an on/off battle for many years, constantly trying to put it to the back of my head, until one day just over 2 years ago when everything came to ahead, I hit rock bottom, I was faced with a situation which I did not think I could get out of, and things could have ended up very differently, however through the help from both my GP and MIND, I got the help I needed, and will forever be thankful to them for saving my life, I then found a love of fitness, which has lead me to this journey today, and taking on my first half marathon.

For anyone suffering, I suggest you speak up to anyone you can whether that be a charity, a GP, a friend, a family member.

Along with this, I will also be supporting Cancer Research, again Cancer affects many people in many different ways, and one day we will beat this horrible disease.

Whichever charity you decide to donate to, I will be eternally grateful no matter how small the donation, every little helps.

Thank you,

Chris
