Story

As a trainee paramedic, I attend calls that bring me face to face with people at their most vulnerable—many of whom are in the midst of a mental health crisis. These moments are heartbreaking, and what becomes painfully clear is the lack of support available for those who are struggling. There are days when the resources are so limited that people in desperate need of help are left with few, if any, real options. I’ve witnessed the worst-case scenarios of this, where the lack of mental health support has torn families apart, leaving devastation in its wake.

It’s not just something I see on the job—it’s personal too. I’ve watched my own friends and family fight their own mental health battles, often without the support they so desperately need. That’s why running for Response Charity is more than a privilege for me—it’s a cause close to my heart. Response supports individuals at any stage of their mental health journey, no matter their age, providing the care and assistance that so many people are missing. Mental health affects us all, and every donation to this cause helps create a lifeline for someone in need. Please consider helping me reach my goal—together, we can make a real difference.
