A run every day in January for York Mind (Incorporating Our Celebration) Ltd in memory of Holly Smith xx

An Extra Push

Just to say that I have signed up to RED January to Support the great work the Charity Mind does and in memory of a great friend, Holly who lost her battle with mental health recently. I will be running every day in January and hope to raise awareness of mental health problems and the support charities like Mind can offer, but also to raise some funds, to help the charity continue its great work. If any of my connections would like to share this or even contribute anything then that would great, please simply visit my just giving page and follow the instructions.

I was privileged to have worked alongside Holly, in the Ambulance Service. Whilst fighting her own demons, we attended many incidents together to people suffering with mental health problems, the energy, empathy, professionalism and genuine care she gave out freely and wholeheartedly I am sure saved many lives. Sadly this great lady and friend of many lost her battle. She would, I am sure be backing this worthy cause.

York Mind believes that the condition does not define the individual. To that end, they campaign to raise awareness of mental ill health and combat the stigma surrounding mental health conditions.
