2016: A Year to Make a Difference? What if this was the year? What if this was the year that I made a difference? What if 2016 were the year that I finally decided to put all those good thoughts into action, instead of just thinking about it? In this year of 2016, we are given the gift of 366 opportunities to make a difference; 366 opportunities to change a life; 366 opportunities to help someone in need. For you see, this year of 2016 is not just one opportunity, it is 366 different opportunities to bring good into our communities, to bring change in a world that needs it, to bring hope and healing to people who are suffering so very tragically and in so many ways. It is not just one chance to make difference in this world, but 366 different days to do so. I have chosen to embrace this opportunity and have decided to become an advocate for people who are suffering, and who are in need. In any given year, 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience mental health difficulties. These people face not only stigma but misunderstanding and recurrent Governmental funding cuts to the services which are designed to help. It is for this reason I have chosen to set up a campaign of raising awareness and much needed funds for one of the many groups of people who helped me when I found myself part of the above statistic. You will find my story below, but first my plan for what I intend this campaign to be… at the beginning of this I told you there were 366 chances this year to make a difference… and that is what I aim to do 366 different challenges (nominated by you) in 2016. They can be anything (within reason) as long as they can be completed within 2016. You can continue to live that lifestyle for the next 366 days. On the other hand, you can decide, right now, to make this the year that YOU change the world; that YOU make a difference; that what YOU do helps make the lives of people better. You have it within you to change the future, to bring joy and happiness to your community, to save a life… and all you have to do is come up with a challenge and sponsor me to complete it… equally you can sponsor me on the basis of 366 challenges being completed. There is someone out there, right now, struggling with mental health difficulties who is hoping that you will help them. Will this be the year? Now, I need your help … Let the challenge commence!
