# Fourtitude: Mental Agility Challenge; Scale Scafell Pike; Cycle 100 miles through the Peak District; Finish with a Half Marathon....all on consecutive days!  

Those of you who know me well, will know that I am mad for a challenge and I am grateful that I have the ability and health to rise to this.  For many people - just existing day to day is a struggle when plagued by illnesses such as Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, Eating Disorders, Schizophrenia or Substance Abuse & Addiction.

Every year, 1 in 4 people in the UK are affected by poor mental health and, of these, around 4 million will also struggle with their financial wellbeing.  Yet there is no single combined source of support for people experiencing both issues.

Working in partnership with Mental Health UK will help the charity to establish the first ever combined Mental Health & Money Advice Service.  It will offer practical, personal guidance and information for any members of the public who is worried about their finances as a result of mental illness, or vice versa.

With your support, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma and support those struggling with these issues through the pioneering Advice Service.

Many of us will know friends, family and colleagues who have been affected by a mental health condition.  It could happen to any one of us, at any time, so please help me to make a difference by donating to my target of £2,500.

Thank you! x
