Hello everyone,
In May 2022, I have the opportunity to tick something off of the bucket list - doing a tandem skydive and falling from approx. 13,000ft. In association with Loughborough SU's RAG team, I plan to raise money for my chosen charity - MIND.
MIND is a mental health oriented charity, who provide support and advice to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. As a teenager growing up in this day and age where the pressure of academic validation, the impact of social media and even the effect that Coronavirus has had on us, I've seen many first hand examples of a compromised mental state which is why I am passionate to raise money and help those who need support. The silent pandemic is mental health, which affects an estimated 1 in 4 people every week in England.
My initial fundraising target is £500, of which £175 will go towards my skydive. Due to this fact, I hope and plan on exceeding my target in order to donate at least £500 to MIND. Any donation, however big or small would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you :)
