I’m taking on the Mega Miles Challenge in support of the Charity for Civil Servants.

The Charity for Civil Servants supports current, former and retired civil servants when they face tough times.  From mental health struggles and financial assistance to relationship issues, getting through grief, and coping with disability, they’re here to help people stay strong, whatever life brings.

They’ve been there for civil servants for over 137 years, providing an umbrella of support when it’s needed most and so I'm fundraising to make sure they can be there for future generations too.

Why I am doing this

Friday 3rd May
I didn’t know much about the Charity for Civil Servants until a colleague said talk to them, they can help! My son had just been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and it felt like our world had been turned on its head. I had never felt so alone despite having my family around me, it felt that like I had lost my crazy bubbly son, he was a shadow of himself and I wanted to take it all away from him. I went to the charity for help,  they supported me to understand my rights as a carer and helped me arrange adjustments at work so that I could be with my son whenever he needed me. Their help kept me going through those difficult times and enabled me to function. They were also there for me when my marriage finally ended after years of struggles. On the outside everything looked rosy but it is far from perfect and my mental health was at rock bottom. Again the charity stepped up and helped me carry on and stay strong!  
Mega miles is my way to say thank you for the help they gave me and 1000s of others who find themselves in need of help.
