Toughmudder Challenge for MHA
Donation protected
Hi Everyone ,
To cut a long story short, I want to raise as much money as I can in the hope that I can start my own work in creating events / group meetings / a place to talk, for those whom suffer with mental health issues.
Over the past 3/4 weeks I have spoken with many sufferers whom have all been extremely open with me on there stories and the hope is now , that I can be of help to many many more people , not just friends / family , but to anyone who needs help or support.
A little bit about me; I've not been able to exercise for just under a year due to an injury that left me concussed and under bed rest for approximately 9 months, during this period I suffered / suffer with servere headaches, I would get extremely dizzy whenever getting up and become out of breathe constantly, so I will be using this tough mudder challenge to push myself back to my old self. I will start training in January again and will push myself each day to ensure that I am able to complete this challenge, I'm hoping with any sort of donation from my friends / family / anybody else that wants to help , that I will be able to help even more people whom suffer with any sort of mental health illnesses.
For those still wondering why mental health is so important to me, I have also been diagnosed with depression and often find myself having mild anxiety attacks, After my injury I originally found everything a complete mountain of a challenge, talking to friends, getting up and out of bed, going for walks , socialising etc , I felt extremely embarrassed and I had gotten to a point where I became extremely depressed and low , however, something changed for me as I could see I was changing an was unable to cope so I just opened up to people I believed I could trust and it helped me hugely. I do also have family members and close friends who suffer with depression and I want to make a difference in any way that I can to there life's... Please help in anyway you can guys :)
