On Wednesday 4th May, I will walk 20km on an Epic City Walking challenge around Leeds.

Given my fitness levels have plummeted in the pandemic, this will be a decent challenge and I would really love your support. Whatever donation you can make will help me reach my target, and support people's mental health.

This is a cause very close to my heart, and many of us will be impacted either personally or via close friends/family/colleagues experiences.

The funds I raise go to Mental Health UK's Helping Communities Recover programme.

The pandemic has had a profound impact on mental health in the UK, exposing many more of us to uncertainties and risk factors that can lead to poor mental health and affecting access to support and treatment. The Helping Communities Recover programme will deliver key mental health services, across all four UK nations, providing support where it is needed most.

Thanks for your support and kind donations. Wish me luck!
