I'm donning the lycra once more (!) to take on a 1,000 mile cycle (effectively Sittingbourne to Lisbon) from March to May, come rain or shine, raising vital funds for Mid Kent Mind (MKM) where I'm the Chair of Trustees.

MKM has an amazing team which supports over 5,000 individuals every year who are experiencing new or ongoing mental health problems. They work across Maidstone, Ashford and Swale providing a wide range of services from adult counselling and suicide prevention programmes to youth wellbeing and support for schools. You can read more about their impact here.

Mental health charities across the UK, including MKM, are currently facing significant funding challenges. The increasing demand for mental health services - particularly post-Covid - has not been matched by available financial resources, leading to real challenges for these charities to remain sustainable. This gap between demand and funding makes fundraising efforts more crucial than ever.

Please support my fundraiser with a donation (of any size) and support Mid Kent Mind's vital (often life saving) work. You can read more about their impact here

(You can be reassured that 100% of your donation goes directly to MKM).
