In May, I will be aiming to complete the Leeds half marathon in full Scuba diving gear in Deep's memory who lost his battle against depression in December. I may not have been close to him as others, but I remember when we played together online and we had a banterous time and shared some good memories with him. Therefore, I want to raise awareness for mental health by pushing my body and mind to their limits in this challenge. It is OK to talk about your problems no matter how small. Don't let it fester inside you. There's always someone that will listen.
