Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Please take 2 minutes to read what we are doing and the reasons why 😊
Last year James & I did a 100 mile Exercise Bike Ride for Mind, this year we have decided to double that and will be doing a 200 Mile (322km) Exercise Bike Ride over 2 days Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th November 2021 to raise money for Mind the Mental Health charity.
We are aiming to raise £455.00 which will help 7 people get CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and hopefully get them on the right path.
There are people out there who can’t afford to get Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT on average costs £65 a session and if we can raise £455.00 then that will help 7 people who can’t afford it or are struggling the chance to get themselves the help they need.
I know personally how helpful CBT can be as around 5 years ago I struggled mentally and felt depressed. Having sessions of CBT helped me massively. Luckily I had family to help me and also the money saved to pay for the sessions. Other people aren't that lucky and that’s why we are doing this.
If we can raise more than £455.00 then more people can be helped which would be amazing.
With everything that has and is going on over the past 2 years it has been a struggle for everyone and effected people in so many different ways but for people who were already struggling mentally it’s just made things even harder. Even though things are feeling a little more normal for a lot of us there are still people who are struggling.
We will be posting live updates all the way through the event on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ben.hanbury.5
