Emily and Lil are running the Colchester 10K Stampede on 28th April 2024 for Mid and North East Essex Mind! 

We would love to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity that help people to keep going and to not give up, especially in their hardest times. Looking after your mental health is such an important topic to both of us, who have personally suffered with mental illness and had family members who have also suffered with this. Without mental health charities, people wouldn't get the help and support they need and raising money is one way to keep these charities and their service users going!

Any donation would mean the world to us and we have been working our bums off to train for this 10K - something that felt like a million miles away when we signed up for it but we are not giving up! Thank you for all the support from everyone, especially those who keep telling us we can do it when we want to give up.

Mid and North East Essex Mind provide mental health services across our area and the need is greater than ever . By supporting the Colchester Zoo Stampede 2024 you are playing your part in supporting those who need us most." I really cannot thank you enough. The therapy I received was invaluable, just having someone kind and understanding to talk to made my week so much more bearable. In fact, I do not know what I would have done without his support. I will be forever grateful to him for being there for me, for listening without judgement and for his unwavering efforts to assist me through my darkest days of depression."
