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.

Following a life changing injury neary four years ago i've experienced lots of lows in my life. I've had amazing support from my family, friends and work colleagues that have helped me every day.

Being diagnosed with depression and PTSD i realise that we're never alone, there's an amazing network of people willing to help.

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!

Hi everyone,

Well, I've managed to achieve over 185 miles, and there are still 4 days of August remaining. I would like to hit 200 miles by the 31st August.

Thank you to everyone who has donated; it really does mean a lot.

There is still time to donate, and each pound raised really does help those of us who really need that support and assistance.

Well, I am five days into my challenge, and things are very good. I'm getting my steps in; I'm getting fit by walking, and I feel fine.

Walking helps me think; it helps me plan my day. 
I'm going through some challenges at the moment with my life and health generally and trying to plan around upcoming surgery.

Mentally I'm focused on what I need to do, and I know there are people out there who will listen and help me.

I am very appreciative of the support I am getting, and I am so grateful for the donations.

Thank you for your kind donation

A big thank you to Danny Nightingale for your very kind donation. I cannot thank you enough for reading my story and sharing your kindness through your donation. 

Danny and I connected through LinkedIn, and until then we hadn't connected or interacted; however, Danny took the time to donate to someone he didn't really know.

The power of people is what strength is. We are all ok; we're one, we're not alone

Seeing and experiencing the good in people gives me hope that I am doing the right thing.

Thank you on behalf of my family and me.

A big thank you to Christina Patel for your very kind donation. I cannot thank you enough for reading my story and sharing your kindness through your donation.

People will be better off for every pound donated and spent; if we can all help the person at the side of you, in front of you or behind you, then we can truly understand the good we do. 

As the saying goes, every pound helps.

Thank you on behalf of my family and me.

Hi, I’m Rob. I’m 64 and married to Debbie.

Nearly four years ago I suffered a life changing injury which I’m still struggling with. What I didn’t realise, and no one tells you until it’s too late, is how much the pain and sense of failure affects you.

You think you’re fine, but you’re not. I’ve received amazing help over the years and if I can repay just one tiny piece of that by raising some money, then I’m going to do all I can to try to help someone else.

Thank you to my Sponsors
