Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

If anyone knows one thing about me, it's that I'm fond of a pint or two, so going sober for a month doesn't sound like a challenge, but when you factor in missing post Wednesday 5-a side pub visits for a month, hopefully you'll understand. Not only will this help me cut the pounds in both senses of the word, I can also tie it in to raise money for a charity that has recently become even more important to me and my family.

2 months ago my twin sister Emma, had a psychotic episode which lasted for a long time, meaning she was detained in a Glasgow psychiatric hospital under intensive care. She is now gladly on the road to recovery, but with the right support this may have never happened. Especially given the current world circumstances, it is important that everyone gets the right help they need and deserve, that's why I have chosen Mind as the charity I want to donate to, who's mission statement is "to provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding" 

Thank you for reading and visiting my page, I have attached the Mind website link if you want anymore information on the charity! Any donations however small are greatly appreciated and make all the difference!
