I have decided to take on the challenge of walking 100 miles in March in memory of my godson Sonny who lost his battle with mental health on 5th February 2025. Sonny's mum has chosen the charity mind to raise money in his name, so It feels right to choose this charity for my challenge. Anyone who knows me knows how challenging this will be for me, but I will do this for Sonny. There is nothing I can do to take the pain away of losing Sonny at such a young age but if anything I hope to try and raise a decent amount in his name whilst raising awareness of mental health. There are so many pressures in life and so much for young minds to deal with alone. We need to be kind, patient and open and let them know its ok to not be ok, Please just reach out and talk to someone.

If anyone needs to hear it now, You are loved, you matter and you are always needed.

RIP Sweet Sonny Jim, forever 20, forever loved 💔💗

If you can spare even £1 or even share my just-giving fundraiser I would be so grateful 🙏

I will post updates on my progress as much as possible 💗

Now more than ever, people struggling from health problems need our support. in the UK, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem this year. Mind needs your help so that they can be there for anyone who needs them, on the phone, in local communities, and campaigning for change.
