Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page I am raising money for MIND UK by walking solo from Lands’ End in Cornwall to Lyme Regis in Dorset along the South West Coastal path. A total of 462 km in 6 days from 2/5/22 to 7/5/22.

Why Mind UK?
Mental Health is a big part of healthcare nowadays and the pandemic has only further showed how prevalent the mental health crisis is. 1 in 4 of us will suffer from a mental health problem each year, yet only 1 in 8 people are currently getting any treatment. The work MIND does on a daily basis is critical for people suffering and the NHS.
MIND provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem, provide training in mental health first, campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote a better understanding of mental health.
How will the money raised help?
The COVID pandemic has severely affected charities abilities to raise funds and so many charities are finding themselves facing huge funding gaps. I hope in whatever small way I can, I will be able to help close that gap and enable these amazing charities to continue assisting people in need in the coming year.
Your donations mean so much to me both personally as they will spur me on through the walk but also for MIND and FORCE please consider helping these charities by assisting them in closing their funding gaps and enable them to continue to serve us, our friends and families in their time of need.
Your support and donations are hugely appreciated and will really help these two amazing charities to continue their incredible work.
If you‘d like to join me for any part of the walk then please do get in touch. Or you can follow my progress on instagram and strava.
