Story
Move for Cornwall Mind is an exercise and fundraising challenge to raise money for better mental health in Cornwall. Cornwall Mind have been there for me over the past year and helped me find some hope and light at an incredibly dark time for me when under-resourced NHS mental health services had nothing they could offer. When I came out of hospital after trying to die by suicide I felt very alone and a massive burden on my friends and family. Through attending Cornwall Mind activities I was able to stay safe and find a way of working through some difficult thought processes in a more positive way. They literally helped to keep me alive. They continue to support me even now and creatively work around the challenges in accessing support that being a doctor brings. I am fundraising to say thank you and to raise awareness of the amazing work that they do.
