change the world

it’s brilliant, all my goals are linking together :) so today i signed up to run my first 10k as part of a team raising money for MIND, the leading mental health charity in England and Wales. we’re also getting our charity/well-being committee project off the ground- i think the new name is Young Awareness Board- and i made the initial information posters for my Race for Life team to be handed out in college by the end of the week. :) it’s all going well.

my latest projects:
- i’m trying to get a team together from college to run Race for Life this year, after only two of us ran it last year.
- a load of us signed up to get involved in volunteering.
- i had an idea to start a charity/awareness committee this afternoon, and by the end of the day we’d talked to the Head of College about it, been cleared for it, and had our first official meeting.
- not a project as such, but i still bought a big bag of mini eggs to share in the common room :) it’s like an extension of my “making cakes and biscuits for our church youth night” tradition, so chocolate may also become a regular feature.

it’s been a busy day.

oh yeah! i’m now officially a Manchester Event Volunteer, and looking to volunteer for the Race for Life events at the minute. hopefully this, along with helping out the people around me, will contribute even a little to changing my world.
