About Candice Mansell
First off, thanks so much for taking the time to have a little read of this.
Not many of you know, but I'm fast approaching a 'small' birthday in September and over the next 12 months, I've quietly set myself a few personal goals.
One of these goals is to raise some money for charity. Mental health is something we all have, and a subject which, when I joined the paramedic world age 18, sadly wasn't much talked about nor any support available (until recently). It's a subject very close to my heart.
Over almost 22 years of my career so far, I've had my own struggles with stress and am the first to admit I keep it very quiet (be this from a professional or personal aspect) and from the outside, appear positive and smiley. Never more so than the last few years. It is so true that everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
As you know, l spend as much time as I can in the open, on hills, walking or running. It helps me with the inevitable challenges of both working in ED and life in general (which for all of us can be up and down). It's the one place where my mind is quiet and I can actually breathe.
I'd like to try and raise a little bit of money for the charity Rock to Recovery who help both women and men in both the Blue Light and Military Services (existing and veterans) specifically with stress.
I've signed up to walk the 4 tallest peaks in Madeira over 6 days, starting on April 2nd 2023 (just over 3 weeks time), a total of 43 miles and an elevation of 7448m.
The Madeira 4 peaks is self funded and one of 12 challenges taking place over the next 6 months organised to try to raise a huge total of £20k for Rock to Recovery.
I very much appreciate money is tight for so many of us right now, and anything you could spare would be simply amazing and every penny will help.
Honestly, thank you so much.
Candice
Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Rock2Recovery
Rock 2 Recovery, was formed in 2015 by Jamie Sanderson and Jason Fox, after they both experienced their own battles with stress after transitioning from the Royal Marines.
Our mission is to save and change the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress. Our purpose is to inspire and coach towards a more positive future.
Sessions are free to our clients and so fundraising has a vital part to play for us.
Following our unique experiences, we recognise the need for rapid preventative interventions, specific coaching and assistance.
Our non-clinical approach is aimed at inspiring, coaching, motivating and supporting individuals to experience real and positive change in their lives by "rethinking your thinking". We encourage everyone to engage in their own recovery and find their "rock".
Join our wonderful community of inspirational people from all walks of life, who encourage each other to achieve personal goals, including Service people and Veterans who’ve been affected by stress themselves. We could not provide the support to those who need us without our supporters and fundraisers, some who have used the service and want to give back and others who have been inspired by stories they have heard about the work that we do.
All of us at R2R thank you for your efforts and for every single penny raised, we couldn't do it without you!
