I’m taking on the Boss Hog race, a tough 7-mile obstacle course involving plenty of mud, water, climbing, crawling and, no doubt, a few moments of questioning why I signed up! I’m doing it to raise money for Suffolk Mind, an independent mental health charity working to make Suffolk a place where people can openly talk about and take care of their mental health. Suffolk Mind supports people from young children through to adults, offering services such as counselling, anxiety support, bereavement support, wellbeing programmes, mental health education and support for families and young people. Mental health affects all of us, and the work Suffolk Mind does helps people understand their emotional needs, access support and feel less alone when things get difficult. I’d be incredibly grateful for any sponsorship, no matter how big or small, as every donation will help Suffolk Mind continue providing these vital services to people who need them.
