... Everyone riding the mental health roller coaster—the ones feeling the highs and lows, navigating through the twists and turns of their own journey and needing support!


Mental health isn't just a topic for me and my family; it's a deeply personal experience filled with challenges and profound lessons in acceptance, support and understanding.


Through our own ups and downs, we've forged a passionate commitment to mental health advocacy, driven by a shared desire to spark positive change and contribute to a world where mental wellbeing is a priority.


That's why this May, myself and Team ‘Active Minds’, led by our incredible daughter Evie, are hitting the pavement to log miles, break down stigma, and raise vital funds for Mental Health UK to provide crucial support to people with complex mental health needs. 


Your support really means the world, whether it's a donation, spreading the word, or joining us in Moving it for Mental Health. Together, let's make a difference.


Oh, and just so you know, you're a superheroes in my eyes!


Sending you oodles of love and heartfelt gratitude xxx

Hiya, It’s official, I'm stepping up for mental health with the "31 Miles in May: Move it for Mental Health" fundraiser. This isn't just about clocking up the miles; it's about making a real, tangible difference! 


Mental health isn't just a concept for me and my family; it's a REAL journey filled with personal challenges and profound lessons in acceptance, support and understanding. Through our own experiences, my family and I have cultivated a passionate commitment to mental health advocacy, driven by a desire to inspire positive change and contribute to a society where mental wellbeing is also prioritised.


I am shocked by the statistics that approximately 7.5 million people in the UK are living with a diagnosed mental illness, that pre-pandemic an estimated one in four of us experienced a mental health problem every year, and especially that 75% of mental illnesses start before a person’s 18th birthday! 


These statistics highlight the urgent need for action and support. So I can't wait to log miles, breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health and raise funds to support Mental Health UK.


Thank you for embarking on this journey with us. Your support can truly make a difference. Together, let's make May a month of movement, advocacy, and compassion. 


Sending you oodles of love and heartfelt gratitude, K xx
