Although I work for Visyon it's personal experiences that motivate me each day to have a positive impact on the lives of children facing mental health challenges.

2018 was the last time I took on a challenge for charity, but most of you will know I love the scary challenges like skydiving, jumping from buildings, climbing roller coasters or walking on hot coals where I can turn up and take part. This one involves me missing out on sleep and having to exercise for a few hours! I'm climbing Snowdon at Night and will also need to train as my fitness levels are not where they used to be!

The photo is myself and training buddy Bella after a 2 hour walk in the rain a few weeks ago. Sadly Bella can't drag me (or join me) up the mountain but your donations and messages will help to get me through a long night!

Thanks to your donations Visyon are able to offer free, confidential support, creating a safe space for children to express their feelings and receive the help they need.

🧡 Donate: you can sponsor me to take on this challenge, every donation, no matter the size, will contribute to the vital service Visyon provides. £860 could fund a young persons counselling journey.

🧡 Share: tell friends, family and colleagues...but most importantly the young people in your life... about Visyon. There's no need for a referral from a GP or school, simply call 01260 290000 for advice and support.

🧡 Talk: encourage open and honest conversations with your loved ones and let's break the stigma that still surrounds mental health.
