Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Everyone will be affected by mental health at some point in their lives,  be it big or small. Over the last 18 months, throughout lockdown, I have struggled with my own mental health. I was in a very dark place, desperate for help and couldn't see a way out. This is when I was put in touch with the Martin Gallier Project. Not only have they supported me but they have also helped my family process and deal with the situation I was in. 

We all are aware how much the NHS is stretched to capacity and waiting lists are so long. With The Martin Gallier Project, there is no waiting list and support is offered immediately. After the first call I made I started to receive amazing support. They went above and beyond for me. From calming me down and ringing my GP when I was in crisis, sitting and having a chat with me in their centre, to enrolling me on to their support groups. They also provided both ,me and my daughter, with therapy. I can't put into words how much I appreciate The Martin Gallier Project, they have, quite literally, saved my life. 

Now that I am on the path to recovery, I want to give back to this wonderful charity. I am going to do a cold water dip every single day in November, rain or shine, to raise money so that The Martin Gallier Project can help as many people as possible.

It cost £80 for one person to be supported with the project so my aim is to raise enough money so that they can support at least 4 more people. I would be extremely grateful if you could give whatever you can, even the smallest donation will get me closer to this goal. 

Thank you so much to everyone who is going to donate to this cause. I know its not a big mainstream charity but it is a very important one, especially to me and my family. This charity means everything. I'm not sure where I would be without them and all their support. 

Thank you everyone and I'll keep you updated with pictures of me freezing in the ocean, Haha :)
