I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!
On the 20 of April 2025 I am participating in the iconic London
Marathon to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness.
Each year, approximately 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem of some kind. Mental illness can be overwhelming and debilitating, not only for the person directly suffering but also, those indirectly e.g. family and friends.
Mental health was a prominent feature in my early life; I have been in very dark places, felt overwhelmed and had feelings of complete despair. Nevertheless, with the access to resources and support; specifically, Rethink Mental Illness counselling, I gained invaluable ‘lifesaving’ tools. These tools continue to be present in my life and are the underpinning reason for where I am today. Unfortunately, not everyone is as fortunate as me; so many people struggle in silence and see no alternative option other than taking their own life. This has been something my family and I have experienced and continues to be deeply poignant.
Rethink Mental Illness holds a very firm place in my heart.
There is help and importantly, there is hope! It is for this reason that I am
taking part in this event - to help Rethink Mental Illness continue its mission
of improving the lives of those affected by severe mental health issues.
I know times are hard; however, every donation counts towards my goal of reaching £2,000!
Your contribution will help provide vital services such as
support groups, and educational resources for individuals and families affected
by mental illness.
Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your time.
