36K Challenge for Mental Health
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
So as some people know, every year I run a half marathon at Disneyland Paris. I'm not a pro athlete by any standards and its always a tough challenge, but its also a really fun time. Last year I ran with people including Paula Radcliffe and Michelle Heaton! This year I'm doing something pretty special - a 36k challenge...
Over the course of a weekend I will run a 5K race, then a 10K race, then a half marathon - over 36km, the furthest I have ever run so far!
Also, as some people know, I run a retro gaming YouTube channel ( http://youtube.com/pixelsltd ) and I am doing gaming challenges to raise awareness and hopefully funding too - including a long let's play challenge of Sonic the Hedgehog with some very tough challenges set! :)
This year I’ll be raising money for mental health charities and non-profits. I myself have dealt with clinical depression, stress and anxiety since I was a teenager, and many of my friends, family and colleagues have as well, so I know first hand how helpful support and a friendly ear can be, and how important it is to raise awareness, and reduce stigmas.
Please note that NO money donated is to pay for my expenses, travel, food etc, that's all covered already. 100% of any money raised will go to good causes - I'm splitting between several charities, non-profits and groups that have helped me and those close to me in the past, from big charities like Mind to smaller, local independnent projects.
If you decide to support my goal in raising funding for this, thank you, I'm very grateful!
