Sam's Run Walk Cycle out of lockdown!
Fundraising for Mental Health UK
Story
The Team
Sam, Matt, Amit, Sunil P, Nigel and Sunil B have come together to Walk, Run or Cycle 800km to raise money for MH UK.
Purpose
Mental health UK supports thousands of children and adults every year. This extensive period of disruption, uncertainty and unexpected change has increased anxiety and stress amongst young people. Anxiety and frustration about exam results, extended period out of education, and worry about ongoing certainty of the pandemic are some of the challenges young people are dealing with.

“I’m really excited about supporting MH UK, the work they do with Bloom is fantastic and makes a huge difference. Plus I get to compete with old friends and show them up!”
Amit Chakravarty
It’s so important to be considerate and aware of mental health problems today. I’m excited to be helping the cause by getting outside and doing my part on my feet or with bike pedals. Teaming up with old friends is all part of the fun!
Sunil Patel
Mental health can sometimes be difficult to recognise and can have a devastating impact on people’s lives. This is why I am supporting (with help from friends) Mental Health UK to promote its work for people affected by such health problems.
Matt Grenyer
"Mental health affects people in hidden ways, and it's great to help a charity that has helped some of my friends."
Sunil Bhatia
"Mental health is a cause I can relate to as my father had to go through it, its difficult subject to talk about, and the effects of it can affect all around, so if I can help bring the subject to light all the better."
Nigel Green
"There are many reasons why physical activity is good for your body – having a healthy heart and improving your joints and bones are just two, but physical activity is also beneficial for your mental health and wellbeing! "
