Monday 13th - Sunday 19th March '23
In World War II my grandad was a Royal Marine, and my dad in the RAF for a significant part of his life! Stories they told are enough to shock some people but experiences like those can severely impact a persons life in many different ways.
I appreciate everything that they and many, many others endured, and continue to endure so that millions of people don't have to!
One in four adults experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do. Talking openly about how we feel can help.
This challenge involves cuffing a 3kg Medicine Ball and thick chain to my wrist for 7 days. It may not sound that heavy but being tied to the medicine ball continuously for 7 days is a significant burden. The ball becomes a physical, visual and tangible representation of the invisible burden of mental health so many of us can experience.
The challenge raises money for the following charities. Any support you can offer will be gratefully received and split evenly between the causes.
