Have you ever found yourself feeling lost and struggling to keep your head above water? It's okay, we've all been there. As someone who has experienced the loss of friends to suicide and supported a daughter with BPD, I know firsthand how important it is to seek help when we need it most.

That's why I'm embarking on The Big Mental Ride, a journey to raise awareness for mental health issues and encourage those who are struggling to speak up. I'll be cycling over 2480 miles from Rotterdam to Istanbul, following cycle routes through several countries. You can track my progress and even join me for a stage or two if you like!

But the most important part of this journey is raising funds for the charity Mind, which provides vital support for those facing mental health challenges. Every donation helps, no matter how small. So please consider giving what you can, and let's support each other through life's tough moments.

Thank you for your generosity, and remember: always be kind.
