I am someone who has lived through the effects of mental illness and I have many friends and family who have gone through similar things. I, as many teenagers, have anxiety and social anxiety, which is something small, but something that effects the things I do and think I can achieve from day to day. It also means I go through periods of panic attacks, and my confidence can drop to an all time low. But, I am not doing this for me. I am doing this because I know how it feels and I also know that there is just not enough awareness of mental health issues and there is still, to this day, a lot of stigma attached to discussing mental health. This is for awareness, and because I am not afraid to walk around bald if it means that people are aware of mental health and if it is turning heads in the street, I don't mind because it may be something small, but it may be something that someone will think about and might think about reaching out about mental illness. 

Most importantly though, I am doing this because I am very passionate about raising awareness, but also because I am passionate about the people who are close to me going through similar mental health issues, my sister, who struggles with Autism, and my mother, who has had a lot to deal with in the past. Mental health is something that I think we all need to talk about! It's cure is company..making sure that person is not on their own. So please, donate! This would mean so much to me!
