Over the last year I've been journeying through mental illness. It's been a tough journey but the support of my friends, family and my faith in God have got me through the darkest bits. It's an ongoing journey but exercise and running are part of what keeps me well, as is the MindSpace drop in cafe that I'm raising money for:

My husband Dan is a local GP passionate about mental health and set up MindSpace Stamford to try and improve awareness, services and networking in our town. He has set up a forum, training courses and is liaising with local schools and has partnered with Mind. The drop in cafe has become a real source of encouragement and peer support and has helped me so much over the last few months- just to speak to people who understand, share experiences and feel safe to talk as well as feel worthwhile as in turn I can help others.
