What I wish my illness could do in my absence

Physical Endurance Challenges vs Emotionally Creative Challenges

What would you consider to be tougher? Personally, I’ve found they’re as hard as each other. Although, I found it easier to run the length of Britain twice than I did to write a book.

Each challenge is helping me to push the limits of my potential, whilst raising money for mental health charities. I’m no daredevil, I am afraid of spiders, and heights and deep water turn my legs to jelly, but I am a firm believer in the personal benefits of feeling the butterflies and ploughing on anyway. I am also passionate about throwing out our old mental health support system and way of thinking, and replacing it with one that spotlights humanity, parity and community projects.
