Why I’m a Mental Health Champion for Essington Harriers
I’m a Mental Health Champion as mental health is very close to my heart, on a personal level, through friends, family and work. Having first-hand experience will help to support others and to raise awareness that it really is good to talk! I believe that a problem shared is a problem halved.
I can be found at club runs (usually on a Monday), weekend runs and I’m always available if anyone wants a catch up and a run… after all
