Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2022,  I’m turning 50 and have set myself the challenge of doing 50 things that I’ve never done before….. and I’ve never run a marathon or anything even close! Now, I’m not a runner - and as one of Julian’s friends bluntly put it, I’m not exactly built for Marathon running (he’s not wrong!)….. but I didn’t think I’d get a place. Wrong!

However, the challenge is nothing compared to that faced by some people every day. We will all have friends, family and colleagues who have struggled in some way, big or small, with their mental health and those who we have tried to support, and perhaps, like me, you have struggled just a little at times yourself. 

Funding for mental health support has always been a challenge and during lockdown, this became a critical situation for so many. As a teacher, I see daily the devastating impact that COVID has had on the mental health of young people but they can wait months, years even for support… and yet it can and does save lives, literally.  Your support can make that difference - thank you.
