I'm taking on the 28 Miles in February challenge!

I'm taking on the 28 Miles in February challenge to celebrate and support Mental Health UK.

Brax and I will be moving 28 miles - whether that's walking, running, cycling, wheeling - and raising at least £100 to help ensure that no one faces mental health problems alone.
Im lucky enough to Have Braxton in my life. He is my emotional support dog for my severe anxiety and mental health issues. I dont know what I would do without him. A lot of people who suffer dont have no support and suffer alone. We want to help make a change and let everyone out there know there not alone, mental health is not a weakness, it is a real illness and its ok to speak up about it. Dont let your inner demons control you. Take a hold of them and reach out for help, someone to listen, someone to vent to or just to be by your side. People like me are out there. I have been medicated since 18yrs old, I have been through alot myself but the way I control my mental health is to be open about it. Yes I suffer with mental health. Im still a person. We have our good days and bad. People now now what me they get each day because I have opend up. People no to leave me alone, or have a laugh with me or give me support. 
Its ok to reach out and be open. Mental health is not a weakness.

Let's notice the signs, let's support one another and together we can overcome our deemonds and be stronger than before.

So Every mile Brax and i cover and every pound I raise will make a difference to the lives of people affected by mental health problems.

Please support us if you can. Together we can make this count. Together we can save lives.

Just remember you are loved, you are needed and your are worth living. 

Thank you for helping
