Last year was the hardest year of my life. There were times I genuinely didn’t know how I was going to get through it, and moments where everything felt overwhelming.

Thankfully, I was surrounded by incredible family and friends who supported me when I needed it most, and my two children gave me the strength and motivation to keep going every single day. I was fortunate enough to have a support system around me and to eventually find the strength within myself to want to get better.

I know not everyone is as lucky. Many people struggle in silence and don’t always have the support they need during their darkest moments. That’s why I want to raise money for James’ Place, a charity that provides life-saving support to men experiencing a suicidal crisis.

Mental health battles can affect anyone, and no one should ever feel like they have to face them alone. If sharing my experience and raising money can help even one person get the support they need, then it will mean everything to me.

Thank you to everyone who donates, shares, or supports this fundraiser. Every contribution, no matter how small, can help make a real difference.
