An update from anita

"Over Easter weekend I've been busy continuing my 169 Challenge!

On each of the days, I've achieved 169 minutes gardening, 169 minutes knitting, 169 minutes walking and 169 minutes learning Spanish, all of which are a real challenge to me!

It's been tough but not as tough as struggling with poor mental health.

Every day until Mental Health Awareness Week in May I will do 169 physical and mental actions to raise funds and awareness for renew169 Wellbeing Cafe to let everyone know IT'S OK TO NOT BE OK! 

Please donate if you can at http://www.justgiving.com/Anita-Solan5   

Any amount however small will mean the world. Thank you so much!"
