Story

Update - nearly a year on and the target smashed. I redone my hair for Drew's wedding (Chris' eldest brother) as you can see in the pic! Took the best part of 5 months to fully come out, I had dyed it black several times, with it turning slightly purple while I was on holiday! Thanks to everyone that donated or even just took a gander at the page... it's about getting you thinking about mental health and getting people talking. 


So I've decided to make myself look like more of a prat for this month to raise awareness and some money for mental health; I've dyed my hair BLUE! 


The main reason was my cousin Chris took his own life, battling his demons alone not realising the impact it would have on his friends and family. My dad suffered greatly with mental health issues and he would have been 50 on the 7th, but he chose drink and drugs to battle his demons, which is why he isn't with us today. 
I want people to realise you don't have to be alone or suffer in silence. The support is there and I want to raise the profile of MIND and help give them some support back, in memory of someone we dearly love.
