My name is Maya Spencer-Berkeley and I suffer from a condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare genetic condition that affects my ability to live a fully able life. Because of this condition I have had to give up my job and have spent the last year at home, not really doing much. As a result, my mental health has taken a turn for the worse. I have been trying to motivate myself to do some exercise instead of staying in bed, day in and day out, but have not had much luck.

 When I found out about RED January it felt like the perfect motivation to get active. Mental health has been a huge part of my life for many years now, directly and indirectly, and its something that I'm very open about and very passionate about raising awareness for. As I am limited with what activities I can do physically, I will be doing mostly walks. If you would like to sponsor me and help me raise money and awareness for something that affects so many of us, I would be so grateful! I will be doing updates over on my instagram, if you would like to follow my RED January journey!
