My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

I am very passionate about discussing and promoting awareness of mental health, having researched it since I was in school and throughout university. I was personally diagnosed with Autism at four years old and had lots of difficulties in socializing and even speaking (the latter only happened at around 5). I was frequently bullied my entire school life as an indirect consequence of it.

My worst experience was when I decided to celebrate my 10th birthday with a themed party and my mum forced me to invite the entire year group to the party, only for nobody to appear because everyone had agreed to not come on purpose. This is something that deeply affected the rest of my schooling experience and I wish that had help and conversations then, which is a big reason why I want to open conversations now!

I also received a tremendous amount of help through intensive speech therapy, regular therapy, the attention of my close family, and through escapist methods like television and music. All of which I hope to raise awareness of too!

Please join me in opening dialogue and feel free to send me a message if you too would like to share your journey with mental health!
