Cheers for taking the time to view our JustGiving page!
In August (after re-date from April) we are running the Tough Mudder City in Finsbury Park, and trying to raise as much money for Young Minds UK as possible.
Young Minds is an organisation who’s mission is : ‘to see a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health, and gets the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what’. Their work is crucial in supporting teenagers and young adults throughout their hard times with their mental health.
In the UK alone, 84 men die a week in the from suicide. This is one of the biggest killers amongst men in the UK.
No one should ever feel low enough to take their own life, especially young people. Young Minds do all they can to offer support for those who need it, and especially in light of all that’s going on in the world at the minute, everyone is much more vulnerable than they think to mental health issues.
In the UK, the rate of young people needing immediate hospital attention as a result from mental health issues has TRIPLED in the last 10 years.
Nowdays, it is so important to speak up about your mental health, even if you don’t think it is ‘worth it’ or just want to ‘man up’. Whether it is your close friends and family, anyone in the services or even any of us doing this run, it is okay not to be okay and you are not alone ❤️
Lets raise some money for a great cause!
Any shares/donations are appreciated more than you know!! x
