Thanks for taking the time to visit the Genesys & Friends JustGiving page.

Unfortunately most of us know someone who is, or has been, affected by mental illness.  It's a silent killer because it's just not spoken about. There still seems to be a stigma attached to it. But it doesn't need to be that way.  Please help me and this amazing team of walkers to raise a bucket load of cash for this very worthy cause!

Rebecca's Story:
I will be facing the great hills of the South Downs for this walking challenge but this task is nothing compared to what some people handle daily when suffering from this illness.  The different types of mental health problems are vast and the journeys can be long and dark.  Everyone knows someone who has been affected.  For me it was someone very close and you never think it could encroach upon your own family.  Over time, with the love and support from friends, family and outside help, she is now doing amazingly.  It's only in the last few years that attitudes have improved and support is growing.  We need to push more, we need to raise more money and make an impact, however small.  Please donate to support us and more importantly MIND.

Dig deep folk, its for a very worthy cause!
