Movember 2023: Jim’s Stories - 3. Somebody to Lean on

I was going to save this video for the end of Movember, but your support and generosity for my fundraising so far has been incredible, so I thought I would do it now.

In this video, I share with you why I do Movember, and why I have done the various things I’ve done to raise money over the years.

I’ll also share with you some of the support I’ve received from you since I started fundraising this year.
So many people from all walks of life have reached out to me this year opening up about their experiences with their own mental health. It warms my heart to know that my message is reaching people and they feel comfortable enough to start opening up to others.

However, I am sure for everyone that’s messaged me there’s many more still trying to get to that first step. There is still a long way to go and plenty to do on this journey, but we’ll do it together one step at a time.
You all so far have helped me get past the 70% mark of my fundraising target in just 4 days, which I never expected. Hopefully I have helped you not to feel afraid to talk about difficult things.

Please watch and share, and if you can help me get that last 30%.

Thank you all once again ❤️

Much love
Jim

Movember 2023: Jim’s stories - 2. the elephant in the room

This is my first full video of the series and within it I discuss my recent experiences and battles with my mental health.

In October I was diagnosed with Depression after a long period of not feeling like myself. Beforehand I had been in a lot of denial about it and thought I just needed sleep, but the signs became increasingly obvious to everyone except me.

As you can probably tell, this was a really tricky video to film. I want to show you how hard it can be even for someone who advocates for it as much as I do to be open about things you think you could be judged negatively for. However, I found 2 things after I opened up:

1. You’re not alone, there are so many people who go through similar things
2. Your support network is so much bigger than you think it is.

Please watch and share this video, and if you can please help me reach my £2.5k goal this year, link to .

Thank you!
Jim

Sadly there’ll be no dares this year, but instead I’ll be releasing a series of videos talking about my own mental health and experiences

The topics aren’t easy to speak about so openly but if I can be open about my own mental health to the world, people can hopefully be open about their own to others with comfort, and we can get rid of the stigma that surrounds it.

This team hasn't posted any activities yet. Encourage them to get out there and embrace their sweaty Mo.
