YOUNG MINDS
Mental health problems are often pushed aside within society as they're not always illnesses you can see externally but instead affect individuals internally (making them harder to detect) . This appears to have resulted in them becoming ignored in day to day life and there becoming an ignorance to such disorders. It is so important to spread the message that it's okay not to be okay, and to especially let young people know that having a mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of / hide away. I have decided to run the Cardiff Half Marathon on October 7th to raise awareness for the charity Young Minds, an organisation that works closely with young people suffering from mental health issues. Any donations would be hugely appreciated as every little helps to make a difference and hopefully this encourages more people to speak out or help someone they know suffering.
