Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am attempting to run Cheltenham half marathon on October 1st 2017 in memory of my sister Emily who lost her battle to mental health illnesses on October 3rd 2016.
Mental health illnesses are confusing and complicated, yet it affects so many of us. Unfortunately it took the life of my wonderful & gentle sister. Its such a taboo subject as it's not physically seen and hard to understand, so my aim is to raise awareness and money for MIND.
1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year.
17 in 100 people will experience suicidal thoughts in their lifetime.
It's okay to not be okay so please speak up or seek the help to help YOU get better,. If you know someone who could be suffering, offer a listening ear, do not be ignorant to this. It's real illnesses, it's claiming and ruining lives.
Thank you to those who donate I really appreciate it! hopefully I'll be able to smash it ( she says ).
