Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Terry Holland and I'm running the Leicester Half Marathon to raise money for the Mett Centre who provide amazing support to people with mental health problems. 

Without the help of the Mett Centre my mum would still be confined to four walls, too frightened to leave home to do simple things like go shopping at the Co-op. The Mett Centre provides a structure and a reason to come out and meet people. But it's more than that. The staff genuinely care about my mum and any additional support she needs is taken care of. They regularly go above and beyond what I expected and it makes all the difference to us. 

The support provided at the Mett Centre changed my mum's life and I want to make sure they can carry on helping people like my mum who have struggled with mental ill health. 

As well as raising vital funds to support the Mett Centre, I hope to raise the profile of mental health. I'm sure everyone reading this message will have some experience of mental ill health, either themselves or within their families or groups of friends.
