I am taking the plunge and going to partake in Bristol's annual World Naked Bike Ride on Sunday 4th June.
I am raising money for Off the Record in Bristol - a local charity which focuses on young people's mental health. Mental health support has always been a cause incredibly close to my heart, and I am incredibly grateful towards charities such as Off the Record that can offer young, vulnerable people the help that they may need.
1 in 5 young adults have a diagnosable mental health disorder - a staggeringly high number – and this year the University of Bristol has been part of some tragic news headlines regarding student mental health. On top of this, waiting lists on the NHS to get mental health support are getting longer. We need organisations like Off the Record!
Just £10 buys an emergency session for a young person in crisis
Why a naked bike ride I hear you asking...
Discussing mental health is all about letting yourself be vulnerable, and exposing your problems without judgement. What better way to raise money for this cause by LITERALLY letting it all hang out there (although the theme is 'bare as you dare'...and I will be wearing (very small) knickers...)! Please help me justify this decision to my mum (sorry mum) by donating to Off the Record.
Please check out this awesome organisation - http://www.otrbristol.org.uk/ - then dig deep!
lots of love xxx
