Mind is a charity very close to my heart. I am swimming 5km every week in April to help raise money for this special cause.

In May 2014 my best friend Ali Penny lost his battle with mental health, unfortunately mental health services struggle to get funding and are still not seen as a government priority. Charities like mind help provide much needed support to those in need.

Any donations you can spare will be much appreciated.
