Andy Brown, Mt Everest Base Camp trek

http://www.justgiving.com/andybrown1

“I’m attempting Mt Everest Base Camp in November this year in memory of a friend’s son who tragically committed suicide in September 2006. This year, as I train and fund-raise, I’d like people to be aware of mental health problems in young people, and let them know they don’t have to end their lives this way. It helps so much to talk to someone, and that people do care for you”

Rudi Dray, Flora London Marathon 2008

“I’ve completed an adventure triathlon (running, kayaking and mountain biking) and 2 previous half marathons but never a full marathon so first time for me!

Really looking forward to this year as when I’ve been a spectator, previously, the atmosphere has been truly inspirational.

I chose to run for ‘Young Minds’ to help continue their tireless work with children and young people. It’s great to know that the money I’m raising will directly affect the mental health of those aided by ‘YoungMinds’!”

Emma Mountain, Black Dog Marathon

"I’m a clinical psychologist working in child and adolescent mental health services and this is my first marathon. I’ve been inspired to run for Young Minds because I think the work they do, particularly through publications available to the public, are invaluable in providing good quality, jargon-free information, and in breaking down stigma around mental health issues for children and young people”
