I'm taking on 31 Miles this August for Mental Health UK

This August, I'm taking on 31 Miles in August to raise money for Mental Health UK.

I'm walking, running or rolling 31 miles throughout the month to help ensure more people can access the mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Mental Health UK continue providing vital services, information and support to people across the UK.

If you're able to, I'd be so grateful if you could sponsor me. Your support will help keep me motivated throughout the challenge and make a real difference to people's lives.

Thank you so much for your support!

My eldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and Autism at the age of six, at a time when awareness and support were limited. We faced years of challenges with schooling, diagnoses, and accessing the right help. Despite being told he would never achieve qualifications or hold down a job, he has gone on to become a successful digital artist, YouTuber, and father.
My younger son, who has Autism, Dyspraxia and Hypermobility, has benefited from improved awareness and support, and is now thriving in an Engineering Apprenticeship.
Along the way, I've learned how important understanding, acceptance, and mental health support are, not only for neurodiverse individuals but for their families too. I also discovered that I am autistic, which helped me better understand myself and my own experiences.
That's why I'm taking on 31 miles in August for Mental Health. I'm walking to raise awareness, support vital mental health services, and show that with the right support, people can overcome challenges and achieve incredible things. Every mile is for those who struggle, those who care for them, and those who need to know the
