Thanks for taking the time to visit my page!
On September 2nd I will be taking part in an event to abseil down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth to raise money for Solent Mind.
Solent Mind makes a huge difference to the lives of people living with mental health problems in Hampshire.
Mental health awareness is something I feel very passionate about. I, myself have suffered with my mental health during several periods of my life, and a number of close friends and family are still fighting their battles daily.
Too often we get swept up by this little thing called life and we forget to take the time to look after our mental health. I feel it important to pause and acknowledge the silent struggles that countless people face every day, to start conversations, provide support and hopefully help to remove the stigma attached to mental health. I am hoping that by taking part in this event (I’m terrified by the way) I will help a brilliant charity continue to fight the battle for awareness, and provide support to those that need it most.
Remember....asking for help isn’t weakness, it is one of your greatest strengths.
