Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, Mind is a charity that means a lot to me, as several friends and family members have suffered varying degrees of mental health problems.

Sadly the last year or so has given me even more reason to support this cause, as both my friend Carl and a former pupil took their own lives.

My way of dealing with these tragedies is a commitment to raising money to support mental health care (which is horrendously underfunded). Just as important is raising awareness - please let's try to remove the stigma attached to mental illness, which many find so hard to deal with.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Merci beaucoup,

Lauren x
