I received specialist counselling from Nexus NI in 2019.

After years of self-blame, shame and poor mental health, it has only been through the support of Nexus, my family and friends that I was able to start on my journey to recovery from sexual trauma. I'm fundraising and raising awareness so Nexus can help as many people as possible to recover and destroy the stigma surrounding sexual trauma.

If you're in a position where you're unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this JustGiving page or my exercise updates. Everything you do makes a difference. 

Challenge 18

Challenge 18 is about taking part in any kind of exercise for a total of 60 minutes a day for 18 days between February & March.

Challenge 18 is a fitness and fundraising challenge that will not only improve my own mental and physical wellbeing but will also support survivors of sexual trauma through the funds and awareness we can raise together.

18 sessions of 60 minutes of specialist counselling at Nexus can help a survivor of sexual trauma on their journey of recovery. The coronavirus pandemic continues to have a huge impact on our lives, and Nexus is seeing increasing demand for its specialist counselling services. 

Every 60 minutes of activity and £60 raised, will help to fund 60 minutes of specialist counselling at Nexus for men, women and children who need support.
