Rebecca's 100 miles for Mind

103.05 mi

Hey everybody and a Happy New Year!

Thanks for checking out my JustGiving page. I've decided to take part in Mind's fitness challenge this January in order to raise awareness of how important exercise is for your mental health. Those who know me will know running is not my forte and if I am running its because something is chasing me so you probably ought to run too (The desire to stay in bed on these cold gloomy days does get the better of me every day) so taking on this will be a challenge for my own mental health. I'm going to leave the miles open to walking, running and stand up paddleboarding.

We all have mental health, but when we suffer from mental illness it is common to experience feelings of shame and stigma - without us normalising this and raising awareness things will never change! I pledge to do something, no matter how small each month of 2021 to raise some form of awareness for mental ill health and I hope you can support me too.

This winter is going to be tougher than many we've faced before. Since the pandemic began, we've seen depression rates double, record numbers of people in crisis and more calls to our Infoline than ever before.

I would like to raise a minimum of £150.00 which would support one online support session for two and a half hours plus the cost of one of their Infolines or legal advisors for a whole day.

Don't worry if you cannot donate - but please send me some encouraging words because something tells me this isn't going to be an easy month!

Together, we are better.
