Abby, from Llantrisant, explains why she decided to undertake a 22 mile challenge to join the fight for mental health.
I’ve suffered with mental health issues since my late teenage years, as I struggled with depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder.
Following several years of bullying, I lacked self-esteem, worried about my appearance and weight, worried about dealing with daily activities and at times felt completely worthless.
Sharing our experiences, offering support to others, and helping raise vital funds for charities like Mind is really important to me and is what keeps me determined to fight on.
We decided to walk 22 miles in 2022 for Mind, leaving our office in Nantgarw, taking the Taff Trail to Cardiff Bay and returning. I’m so proud of everyone who took part, and even prouder of the amazing £2304 raised by us all!
