My father committed suicide when I was a teenager. He never spoke about his depression and never opened up to his family. Perhaps if there was less stigma about mental health, my father would have spoken up and could still be with us.
Most people I know have had issues with stress, depression, social anxiety and other mental health problems. Mind's Time To Talk campaign is raising awareness and tackling how we discuss and treat mental health.
I'm tackling a half marathon in memory of those we've lost, to help those still here, and to help me do something that helps my mental and physical health.
Anything you can give is going to a great charity, so thank you for your support.
