uS is a new charity supporting young people across the North East aged between 14 and 25 with or at risk of mental health difficulties, helping them to become physically active and transform their lives.Participating in exercise and sport can give you a buzz and makes you feel good. It can also: + Improve mental and physical health + Lift the mood of participants + Provide opportunities for meeting new people and having fun + Help raise self-esteem and confidence as personal goals are achieved. I think sport is vital and everyone should have the opportunity to take part. I will be running the event in a purple tutu and luminous pink socks because I think mental health is a huge issue and more light needs to be shone to help those facing difficulty.
