A few months ago, I was diagnosed with depression. I know that I am not the worst case out there, but to me it felt awful and it impacted my education and the relationships I had with friends and family. I never realised how much depression affected the people I care about most until now. Penumbra is a charity that will support anyone who is at risk of hurting themselves or others and give them support, even if it's just someone to talk to. The smallest things can sometimes make the biggest difference. 

I am doing 2 5k races, a 10k race and then finally an abseil from the Forth Rail Bridge. The money that goes towards this charity can be the difference between someone thinking that there is only one way out and someone starting the road to recovery.
