Here at Ice Recruitment we are delighted to be teaming up with our daughter Bex, to raise money and bring awareness to the charity MIND.Β Because, Mental Health Matters!
Mental Health Matters
“Long story short, I will be running London Marathon ahhhh! However, more importantly, I am running to raise money for the incredible Mind
I have been debating a lot about how much to share when posting about the marathon because,
1) I am never looking for sympathy and
2) I feel very vulnerable sharing anything too personal.
However, I then realised that open conversations about mental health and removing any feelings of shame or embarrassment about mental health is one of the many amazing changes that MIND encourages.
Having suffered with OCD, which got significantly worse as soon as we went into lockdown in 2020, I have definitely experienced my own mental health struggles. Though it is scary to admit online, I finally decided to go to therapy as my ocd became pretty debilitating. Long story short, though I do still struggle with my ocd, getting this help changed my life in so many ways and I am so grateful for this.
However, therapy is not nearly as accessible as it should be- this needs to change- mental health is health. I would love to raise as much money as possible to help mindβs mission of making sure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone.
I have put a link in my bio, any donations would be extremely appreciated Iβve also included some photos of times going through some of my worst ocd and a couple that hopefully show that things will always get better“
