As a Trustee of this very important charity I bring the following to your attention hoping that you will feel able to support me and my family and Stanley, the dog, on this 5k Walk in May.

Shockingly, in the UK alone, one doctor dies by suicide every three weeks, and one nurse every week. These numbers underpin the urgent need for mental health resources and support within the healthcare community.

Doctors in Distress provide initiatives to promote and protect the mental health of all health workers through a range of free programmes. This is why I'm taking part in #5KInMay, to help them be able to continue this vital support.
