Even before the pandemic hit, my sons self confidence and self esteem wasn’t great, the past couple of years haven’t helped, alongside a lengthy (still waiting) assessment for potential ASD. 

Often when we share on social media we see a snapshot of a person’s life, usually the happier moments because let’s face it, having a glimpse of a happy care free moment wins out against sharing a regular reality which to be honest can be pretty challenging and draining. 

I was supposed to do the GNR in 2020 but clearly that didn’t happen, last year was a case of still muddling through the aftermath of lockdown. So this year it has been a late start to training and I don’t know what will happen on the day but whether I run, walk, skip, hobble I want to do this for me to prove to myself I can but also why not try to raise money for a worthy cause at the same time.

I want to do what I can to support young people have positive mental well-being. There is such a lack of support out there which is slow coming when you need it and it breaks my heart to know there are others out there perhaps struggling the same as my son does.

I would super appreciate any donations you are able to consider and make and help me on my way with this! Because I’ll bloody well need it!
