Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Please donate. I have worked in the Ambulance service for 10 years. Sadly, in that time there have been too many of my colleagues that have not felt they could ask for help and have ended their lives. Mental health issues will affect 1 in 4 of us, any of us. But within the emergency services, we are exposed to so much that can affect our mental health, let alone the pressures of life that everyone may have to deal with.

I have had anxiety issues, but I had support and used my running to help me through as well. But Our Blue Light has been set up to help support those within the Emergency and Essential services who do struggle due to mental health issues, to promote physical and mental well-being by the provision of information, advice and guidance so that they are better able to manage the stress they encounter and to relieve hardship and distress arising from mental health issues.

I also have my own mini battle as I suffer with Chronic fatigue. But I am extremely lucky, as it nothing to what some people have to manage but it does make training a challenge! So please help me to raise some money and give me more motivation to keep training so that we can support members of the Emergency and Essential services to receive support when they need it most.
