It's been a few years since I have raised money for a very deserving cause and it's time I turned to all of you kind folk to help the charity Young Minds raise funds to counter the mental health issues that often lead to tragedy in the young. 

If you have ever enjoyed the Polemic's blog, which I run free of adverts and other forms of income, or enjoy the odd tweet, I would be very very grateful if you could see your way to making a small contribution to this cause. 

I became involved in the story of the Tomline family through friends and was very moved by their story of losing their son to suicide and how they have decided to do something positive to help prevent their tragedy happening to others  

Rather than just donate money I have decided to go one stage further and participate in the first stages of their 500-mile family coastal walk starting on 1st April. 

Their story is here

With huge thanks for any support.
