I've not written a post for a while because I have been busy trying to organise my diary with events in the run up to the festive season.
However, I have some BIG news in this post. I have decided to become a shirt sponsor for Vikki Alexander who plays on the Mental Health Hockey team.
Their story began in 2018 with the formation of Team Mind.
Since then they have competed annually in the UK Charity All Stars ice hockey tournament.
In the inaugural season they fundraised over £27,000 for Mind UK, winning the top fundraiser award amongst all teams competing. Since then they have raised over £120,000, finished in two UK All Stars as champions on the ice and started vital conversations in the ice hockey community and beyond about mental health and the support systems available.
For the 2024 All Stars, the team also began a new era as Mental Health Hockey.
They recognise the deeply personal connection that many of the players, volunteers,
friends and families have with mental health. Their new name, and strategy enables
them to raise vital funds and awareness for more mental health charities, so the journey
can remain personal to them, and the impact feel even greater.
Vikki is fundrasing for C.A.L.M. (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Mind. Both of these organisations are very close to my heart. I know many people (including myself) that have and still have daily battles with mental ill health. I wish Vikki and the team the very best of success in the upcoming season!
