On the 9th of February 2018 I will be on a treadmill running for 48 hours straight all in the name of mental health. There will be extra treadmills set up to encourage others to come support and run for a little or a lot. This will be an extremely tough challenge,I choose to do these extreme challenges to attract the necessary attention and allow me to put mental illness in the spotlight. Mental Illness is extremely common in our society yet it is not treated in the same as if you had a physical illness and because of this stigma people are afraid to reach out and get help often trying to deal with it feeling alone, worthless and a burden on society. Through my running and challenges, I aim to keep the conversation going and really break down some of those misconceptions and stigma surrounding Mental Illness so those that are doing it tough may finally be able to reach out and get the help they need free of judgment. All funds raised will go to Speak up Stay ChatTY
