Run Forrest, run!

Hello all,

Just a quick note to remind you all that I'm fundraising again! As you may know, I'm running the BUPA Great North Run 2007 on 30 September, and am looking to raise a massive £300 in sponsorship - but I need your help (visit my justgiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/mikehiggins. I need to raise at least half that total by 31 August! I'm running for Mind who do great work, attempting to create a better life for everyone with experience of mental distress by:

* advancing the views, needs and ambitions of people with mental health problems
* challenging discrimination and promoting inclusion
* influencing policy through campaigning and education
* inspiring the development of quality services which reflect expressed need and diversity
* achieving equal rights through campaigning and education

Mental health problems can affect anyone, rich or poor, young or old, shattering the lives of those affected and the lives of the people close to them. One in four of us will experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives. Each year more than 250,000 people are admitted to psychiatric hospitals and over 4,000 people take their own lives.
Donating through justgiving is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mind The Mental Health Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please please please help me!
