I'm taking on 30 Miles this November for Mental Health UK
This November, I'm taking on 30 Miles in November to raise money for Mental Health UK.I'm walking, running or rolling 30 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 brother
Tuesday 6th Oct I am raising money for people who live with mental health issues. Sadly my brother Kevin was taken from us at 35 years old from his battle with addiction. He passed on my birthday in 2012 during a peak of drug related deaths in Dundee. The crisis was so acute that Kevin was the 13th person to lose their life in 2 weeks. This was a sweeping public health epidemic that was tearing communities apart, and it still is.Kevin was funny , kind , and loved his family, he always liked a laugh and would give you his last penny.

There is a deeply rooted link between addiction and mental health. Addiction is a symptom of a deeper, silent pain. Kevin deserved a long happy life. He tried to get support for years, waiting on lists for counselling and rehabilitation, he received no help, being left stranded. Without the right support people can turn to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain and distress they feel. Every step of my 30 Miles this November will be for him. Just as my 10k this month was for my mum and my next challenge will be for my dad. Please consider donating in Kevin's memory in order to give someone else the chance to heal amd so that other families don't have to face this heartbreaking loss. Thank you for your love, support and kindness. Love always 🤍🤍🤍
