Fundraisers
As a charity we need the support of fundraisers and donors to help us support the people in our communities. We often find that fundraisers aren’t aware that we are an independent charity and funds raised in the name of Mind don’t go to the local charity.
If you would like to keep the money local, fundraise for Mind in West Essex; like these amazing people below!
100km in a day
Harlow artist Toni Frostick is set to run 100km (just over 62 miles) in one day next month to raise funds for us!
She will take on the London 2 Brighton Ultra Challenge on May 24 in aid of our mental health services, after we provided vital support for a close friend.
Toni is a seasoned distance runner and completed a 50km event in aid of Bipolar UK in 2023, but says her upcoming ultramarathon will test her endurance like never before.
The 40-year-old, who is operations manager at Harlow Art Trust, said she wanted to “give back” after her friend’s recovery from psychosis.
“When my friend needed urgent help, Mind in West Essex acted quickly and not only provided the necessary help but also guided me with the resources and support I needed to be there for them.”
“I’m so proud of my friend’s recovery, and I’ve continued to rely on Mind in West Essex for guidance in supporting my volunteers and staff. They do incredible work for our community, and this is my way of giving back.”
As the day approaches, Toni has stepped up her training and recently completed a 50km run. She said: “That was my first ultra-distance run since my last big race, and I’m feeling so much better than I did back then.”
We’re sure you’ll agree it’s an incredible effort, so why not show your support by helping Toni reach her fundraising target? https://justgiving.com/page/toni-frostick-1729862757266
