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 />
