My impulsive nature has served me well! From September 21st for 10x whole days. Back to back. I will be spinning to raise money for MIND!
My story:
I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder a week before our London went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. To describe that time as surreal is an understatement.
I entered DBT - a special type of therapy proven to reduce the symptoms of BPD privately as their is currently a huge waiting list to receive this treatment on the NHS. DBT saved my life.

Did you know September is Suicide Awareness Month? Did you know that 75% of people who suffer with Borderline Personality Disorder will make at least one suicide attempt in their lifetime? And many will make multiple suicide attempts. People with BPD are more likely to complete suicide than individuals with any other psychiatric disorder.
The amazing team at Boom Cycle in Waterloo are supporting me! Not just an indoor cycling studio, Boom Cycle engages riders mentally as well as physically through their unique experience. No numbers, no competition, just fun. With the lights low and a world-class sound system, riders are swept away and immersed into the ultimate ‘party on a bike’ experience.
A programme designed with a vision to empower and to be anything but exclusive; there’s no pretentiousness, just high fives all round. Their daily rides are led by expert motivators and have been adopted into the daily lifestyle of their Boom’ing community. Boom Cycle caters to all abilities but most importantly is here to encourage you to cutloose from your day and forget your stresses.
Thank you for your support - every penny counts
All my love,
