On Sunday 22nd November i will be throwing myself off the 160ft high Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, this is the only bungee jump of it's kind in the UK!
The jump will raise money for the mental health project i work for, which provides a safe and suppportive home for people with severe and enduring mental health problems and helps to them to develop the skills and confidence they need to live fulfilled and independent lives.
The money raised will go to our client's Welfare Fund which provides that little bit of extra help to people who are in need and struggling on a limited income. For example: clothing for a job interview, boots to join a walking group, train fare to visit relatives, attend medical appointments or for emergency resources such as food, toiletries etc.
As well as raising money for the Welfare Fund, i also hope to use this event to promote the national campaign, Time to Change, which aims to raise awareness of, and put an end to, the discrimination and stigma faced by people with mental health problems in our society.
So please donate anything you can to support these extremely worthy causes.
