Fundraising for SANE
Story
I did it - I came 15513th! And then I dropped my glasses in the portaloo.
For my pain, you can still donate to Sane through this page - or go to the Sane website (www.sane.org.uk)
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SANE will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
You can read more about the charity below or by visiting www.sane.org.uk. About SANE: Mental illness has been shrouded in secrecy for such a long time that sufferers, their families and friends are often left feeling helpless and isolated. Until recently, many have felt that they had nowhere to turn. To address this, SANE was established in 1986 following the overwhelming public response to a series of articles featured in 'The Times' newspaper entitled 'The Forgotten Illness'. Written by Marjorie Wallace, now SANE's Chief Executive, the articles underscored the neglect of people suffering from schizophrenia and the poverty of services and treatments. From its initial focus on schizophrenia, SANE developed and is now concerned with all mental illnesses. SANE has three objectives: To raise awareness and respect for people with mental illness and their families, improve education and training, and secure better services. To undertake research into the causes of serious mental illness through The Prince of Wales International Centre for SANE Research. To provide information and emotional support to those experiencing mental health problems, their families and carers through SANELINE. SANE's national telephone helpline, SANELINE, was set up in 1992. SANELINE volunteers currently handle up to 1000 calls per week from men, women and children suffering from mental illnesses as well as their carers and health professionals. SANE's vision is to use its proven helpline expertise to reach many more people affected by mental illness, their families and friends. Through the use of regular anonymised surveys of its users, SANE is in a prime position to understand both what is required and how to deliver it. SANE cannot do this without your help and support so please consider either making a donation to SANE or perhaps offering some of your time as a SANELINE helpline volunteer. SANE works closely with other mental health charities and external organisations and is an active member of the Mental Health Alliance.Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
