I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page - over the coming week's I'll be getting out in all weathers to run "5k a day", or 155km in October to raise money for this fantastic charity - and increase awareness not only about the fantastic work they do, but also the overall topic of Mental Health and Wellbeing.

1 in 4 people will experience a mental illness in their lifetime. We have all been in contact with people impacted by mental health issues - whether we realise it or not.

Mental Health impacts so many of us and often, we're not fully aware of that impact. Furthermore, the stigma associated with Mental Health issues often prevents those in most need from feeling that they can reach out for help. A truly heart-breaking situation.

As a father of 2, I am acutely aware of the importance of ensuring that everyone, regardless of age, background or beliefs should have the ability to find support when needed.

I’m excited to share that I’m fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by mental illness. 

Rethink Mental Illness provides vital support and information to individuals and families, advocates for better mental health services, and works tirelessly to end the stigma surrounding mental health issues. 

Thank you for your support!
