I've decided to take part in a rather sporty 44 mile walk over a great big hunk of English countryside in an effort to raise some money for MIND - The Mental Health charity. An arduous 44 mile trek across the Peak District from somewhere around Sheffield to somewhere around Derby with some dedicated colleagues and friends.

I've come to know recently how ingrained mental health issues are in our society and how they don't always manifest themselves in obvious ways, further to this it's estimated that one in four of us will suffer from them personally in our lifetimes.  

So throw a couple of quid my way, if not to increase my obligation to drag my carcass over an uncomfortable distance (probably in the rain), then to help raise a little money and a little awareness for something really worthwhile.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
