As we are sure a lot of you are aware, we’ve recently starting a blog and Instagram page trying to raise awareness of mental health issues and break the stigma that is associated with it. In doing so, we have met some truly inspirational people who have battled with their mental health. We think it’s fair to say that some of those people wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for charities like Leeds Mind.
We’ve decided to help Leeds Mind raise some money to help tackle the Mental Health Emergency in Leeds.
Before COVID, it was projected that 1 in 4 people would have a mental health difficulty. According to a recent Mind survey, approximately 50% of the UK population is now struggling and 10% have suicidal thoughts.
Help for mental health is needed now more than ever!
We are embarking on running 100km between the two of us in the month of March. Please donate if you can.
