In October 2016 I lost my step father, Jamie, to suicide. His views and teachings had an enormous impact on the formative years of my life. As a family we looked up to him very much.  I want to raise as much money as possible so Mind have the resources to further their campaign for increased mental health awareness and treatment. 

The idea behind Mind Your Step is to walk from Sheffield to Derby. This was Jamie's commute to work, and he made it tirelessly for over 10 years. His work was a huge part of his life. The passion he expelled for it was inspiring - this is why I believe the route we are taking is a fantastic idea and a great way to honour his memory. 

One final note: the people who organised this walk are former work colleagues  of my step father at RPS (formally known as Clear Environmental Consultants). He spent most of his adult life interacting with these people and creating a working environment that everyone became very proud of. In joining them on this walk I hope to honour his memory in a fitting way.
