The challenge was all to raise funds for , a charity that provides essential mental health support services across Bedfordshire, Luton, and Milton Keynes. The funds raised will help provide services including counselling, crisis support, and wellbeing initiatives, ensuring more people have access to the help they need.

Speaking about the challenge, Emma 鈥 who is also a volunteer at Radio LaB 鈥 said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really excited to have completed this challenge as mental health awareness is key. Promoting people to get up and find their escape, whether it be running, walking or roller skating! Hopefully we can get people talking about their mental health, and the money raised will go towards Mind BLMK funding mental health services in the area.鈥

The aim of the challenge is not only to raise money for the charity, but also to spark important conversations about the significance of mental health and the value of finding positive outlets through hobbies and fitness. Emma鈥檚 efforts have already raised over 拢400 and there鈥檚 still time to donate .
