I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

Or rather walking a marathon...  Same journey, same destination, more time for contemplation. 

As I enter the late Summer of life and reflect on all the adventures that I've had thus far I wonder whether, as has sometimes been suggested, I've long existed somewhere in the middle of lattice comprised of things labelled with letters – ADD, ASD, ADHD, OCD, ETC – and, further, how such things may have affected me and more importantly those around me. Mostly gently I'd hope, but not always I am sure.

I imagine then how challenging it must be for people whose lives are affected – directly or indirectly – by severe mental health issues. And how  important it is to have access to resources and support. 

That's why 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. 

Every donation counts towards my goal!

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.
