Jan's Marathon Challenge for Bounce!

As I turn 59, I'm taking on the London Marathon on October 3rd!

I am raising money for a brilliant charity in Tiverton, Devon that provides mental health support to children and families. Join me in making a difference! Support my challenge and the great work carried out by this charity.

BOUNCE! offers 1 to 1 child counselling to support mental health in school communities. Counselling can significantly reduce psychological distress in school children to improve social/emotional behaviour. Currently, however, only a minority of children benefit from therapeutic services in their schools.

BOUNCE! fills the gap. Having recently set up a community-based, low-cost service it is making a real difference helping build resilience in children and their families, creating happier learners and improved learning outcomes. BOUNCE! also supports parents and carers. Now more than ever support is needed. At the best of times parenting is tough, but the Pandemic has exacerbated the pressures on parents. Funds raised by this challenge will aid the development of parent peer support groups and parenting skills courses. This will strengthen the local parent/carer community encouraging connection and sharing of experience, strength and hope. Find out more about BOUNCE! at www.bouncebrighterfutures.co.uk

Thanks for taking time to read this and for your support

All the very best
