We caught up with Jade Ward (local York Mind Supporter) to find out about her latest challenge - 500 miles in April for York Mind.

"In February we lost two friends to suicide, this came out of the blue for all of us and really shocked us all. We wanted to do something to give back and support other people who have struggled with isolation and the impact of the pandemic. Our 500 miles in April provided us the opportunity to do exactly that, while allowing us to take time for ourselves and get into nature. The friends we lost were bright bubbly and so full of life, mental health can impact anyone at anytime and we really wanted to raise the awareness of York Mind and the amazing work you all do."

 

The 500 miles was completed by Jade Ward, Kelly McNichol and Beth Dambrauskas
