I am taking on Red January in memory of my friend Lewis, who died by suicide last year, after a long battle with his mental health. Having seen and felt the effects of loss, grief and suicide on all those who loved him, including myself, I am more determined than ever to help make Suffolk the best place to talk about mental health and ultimately, a place where people struggling are not afraid to reach out and ask for help.

Suffolk Mind do a huge amount to support people in need so please give what you can and help me raise money, even just a small amount could go towards changing someones life.

Over the last year especially, I have used physical activity as a way of improving my mental health and try to do a couple of gym classes a week; for Red January I am pledging to do something every day, and just to challenge myself even further, I’m going to have a go at running outside (which I absolutely HATE the idea of)!
