I was hoping all you lovely people of Dawlish would be so kind as to help me out?. I am a 33 year old Disabled Gentleman suffering with Bipolar Disorder which is a Mental Health Disorder.
Bipolar Disorder is defined as
Bipolar - The Facts
- 1% to 2% of the population experience a lifetime prevalence of bipolar and recent research suggests as many as 5% of us are on the bipolar spectrum.
- Bipolar also has a huge impact on family and friends.
- On average it takes 10.5 years to receive a correct diagnosis for bipolar in the UK and and before bipolar is diagnosed there is a misdiagnosis an average of 3.5 times.
- Compared to other health problems, treatment of bipolar is still badly affected by misunderstanding and stigma.
- Bipolar affects every aspect of your life and your rnd atelationship. Family and friends can all be put under stress. This is why you need to get a correct diagnosis, accept treatment and start to learn how you can adapt your lifestyle to cope with the ups and downs.
I am preparing for a Charity Fundraising Walk to raise money for the Charity starting from The Falcon Hotel in Bude, Cornwall on Saturday 8th September 2012, With the kind permission of Virgin Money they have allowed us to set up a Donations Page and I wondered as i live in Dawlish itself if any of you kind hearted people would be willing to sponsor me regardless of the amount. It is an ongoing Fundraiser and the Charity Fundraising Page can be found at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=BipolarAwareness Please do not forget to Gift Aid as HMRC pays the tax back into the charity and all donations go directly 100% to Bipolar UK. For further info please don't hesitate to view the page above. Thankyou Paul
