Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am hoping to raise at least £200 but if I can hit £100 I will be getting my head shaved and get rid of the beard I've had for a few years (of varying lengths!).

I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety in 2012 and over the years I have had varying degrees of episodes with the past couple of years being particularly tough.

Last year the suicide rates hit a record high and in 2018/19 Mind UK took a staggering 100,000 queries on their helpline and 15.9 million people accessed their information.

Now with Coronavirus isolating so many people, never has the need for mental health support been needed more.

I've been lucky to have people I can turn to with family, friends and work colleagues being there for me when I've needed them most, but so many people don't have that support and charities like Mind UK are literally a lifeline for many.

Please can you donate whatever you can to support this amazing charity.
