Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - I am taking on an Epic Adventure for Mental Health UK and I need your help!

On 8th of January (rescheduled after high winds on the 24th of October) , I will skydive from 10,000 feet to raise funds for Mental Health UK.

When I saw this challenge advertised my first thoughts were “that would be terrifying there's no way you'd catch me jumping out of a plane”. I signed up for this challenge that very day.

I believe that looking after our mental health is the single most important thing that we all should take time to focus on. There is nothing more scary than that all consuming, sinking feeling you get when depression creeps back in to your life. When you wake up, it’s familiar numbness has surrounded you and you don’t know how you’ll make it through your day.

I believe we all have the ability to overcome poor mental health and the fear it brings. I hope that this will inspire you to prioritise your mental health and take charge of your fears. 

I would love your support. Whatever donation you can make will help me reach my target (£500), and support young people’s mental health. Lloyds Banking Group will match funds raised (up to £500), so if I hit the target any donations you make will be DOUBLED!

The funds I raise go to Mental Health UK’s young people’s programme Bloom, which is helping young people across the UK to build resilience so they can better protect and maintain their mental health through life’s transitions - this is more important than ever given the changing times and environment we currently live in.

You can find out more about Bloom here - https://mentalhealth-uk.org/partnerships/projects/bloom/
