Whilst the above photographic evidence suggests early origins of couch potato tendencies, January 2019 ushers in a new decade for me and RED JANUARY is a great way to make January a more active time of year. I'm going to face off the dark and cold by getting beetroot-coloured on a daily basis whilst raising some funds for a cause that means a lot personally. Depressive episodes meant that moving anywhere beyond bed felt impossible at times. I'm grateful to feel well enough to lace up my trainers & keep moving for South Lakeland Mind. 

I'm joining RED participants across the South Lakes who are challenging themselves to be active for 31 consecutive days in January kick-starting 2019 in a more positive way.

South Lakeland Mind's mission is "to enhance the quality of life of people experiencing mental and emotional distress and to work generally towards the promotion of better mental health and a greater sense of well being for people in South Lakeland".
