Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Now I'm not teaching, thought I'd try one of the things on my list - run the half-marathon.  Yes, I know, cleaning out the house is on the list, but there you go.  Some things can wait - my joints won't!!  I'm running for MIND as the more I talk to people about depression and mental problems, the more I see that it affects more families than not and yet we still don't talk openly about it, nor do we really have the resources to treat people successfully.  It's really sad to see young people struggle, knowing that they may take several years to have the sort of support that will actually help.  I have found exercise very beneficial over the years - just like the magazines advise.  Mind you, training for this event may prove to be rather more than I've allowed for.

But, thank you for reading this - you can see I USED to teach English, I don't know when to stop.

If you could see your way to donating something towards to MIND I would be very grateful.  I WILL complete the course, even if I walk it.

Thank you!!!!
