Story

Isle Listen is a mental health charitable organisation part of MCH Psychological Services, an Isle of Man registered charity which has provided psychological support since 1983. Isle Listen provides essential mental health support to young people in schools and the community through its low-level one-to-one Listening Service and wide-reaching educational programme, as well as mental health training to employers and their workforce through its paid services which supports the charity's free services to young people on the Island. I want to do this cycle for isle listen to remember my mum who sadly took her own life on a mental health ward in a hospital in sutton, south london in the 1980s when i was 7 years of age aswell as raising much needed money for isle listen to continue their great work on the island helping lots of people with their mental health. I have chosen paris as my destination as i am going to the paralympics to support australian para athlete lauren parker who until 2017 was an able bodied iron women athlete ranked 2nd in the world in her age group and whose life was sadly changed when she went over 2 nails in the road when she was doing 30 mph whilst on a training ride which caused her to come off her bike causing lots of damage to her body and instantly paralysing her. Just 9 months after her life changing accident lauren won a bronze medal in para triathlon at the commonwealth games and sport has saved her life and helped her both with her mental health and having to overcome numerous operations since her accident
