Story

This event is one of a series of personal challenges all of which have the underlying aim of raising awareness of mental health issues. One in four people will experience of mental illness at some point in their life, yet the strength of the associated stigma means that mental health remains a subject that is rarely discussed openly. I may never know if my story and my challenges have made a difference to anyone; but what I know for certain is that will achieve nothing if I don't keep trying....

Just over two weeks before the "big day" and today the donations passed the £200 mark, which is fantastic. Thanks again to everyone who has got involved!

Down to 47 days... and things are coming together nicely. I've received some fantastic raffle/ auction prizes; two special guests are definitely confirmed and, unexpected commitments notwithstanding, my local MP will be popping in on the day. Really looking forward to it now!

99 days to go until my 12 hour darts marathon... if you would like to support the event, and my series of "challenges" that have been ongoing since January 2014, I would be so grateful. http://www.richardkirby.org/challenge.html is the link for more details. Thank you!
