You are all amazing!<br />

This is where we get to say a huge thank<br />

you for all your incredible support. It has<br />

meant we can continue to help people<br />

living with mental illness by answering<br />

calls to our Advice and Information<br />

Service, help set up more support groups<br />

and campaign to make real change.<br />

Whether you are a donor, ran a<br />

marathon, skydived out of a plane or<br />

held a tea party to raise funds for Rethink<br />

Mental Illness you are making a difference.<br />

Our fundraisers have blown us away<br />

in <strong>2018</strong>! Already this year we have seen<br />

our incredible London Marathon team<br />

absolutely smash it and raise over £50,000.<br />

It’s not all been about marathons<br />

though. Marie Wroe, Lead on Dance<br />

and Theatre at Doncaster College, raised £500 through ticket sales for a<br />

performance at her college.<br />

We must also thank our cover star Sarah Lancaster for taking part<br />

in our Celebrating Lives Weekend at Colour Obstacle Rush 5k run and<br />

raising over £400 which is brilliant!<br />

Our fundraisers<br />

are incredible!<br />

Sahara Trek<br />

UK’s best road race this is<br />

Illness. Last entry Feb 2019.<br />

Paul Canary was part of our London Marathon<br />

team and said: “I personally think the London<br />

Marathon is one of the most unbelievable<br />

events in the world. The support, generosity<br />

and love of our capital city is like nowhere<br />

else and it truly is one of the most amazing<br />

experiences which I will treasure and<br />

hopefully be able to take part in again.”<br />
