My aim is to raise £10,000 for the mental health charity Mind. Mind aims to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health and help people and their families recover from the difficulties that it brings and lead a normal fruitful life.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar type 2 in 2008 and it has been a long and uneven road to recovery, not helped by two strokes and heart surgery along the way. But with the unwavering support of my wife and family, the partners and staff at Farley & Thompson, excellent treatment from the NHS and the input of charities like Mind, I can now manage my illness and lead a more or less normal life. 

I am currently well and I have a window of opportunity this summer to give something back. I will be walking the entire 630 miles totally unaided and carrying everything I need with me. Please help me raise my target of £10,000 to support Mind so they can continue to help others whose lives have been affected by mental illness. LET'S DO THIS!!
