Mind in Brighton and Hove welcome back Jo and Ants.
On 20 May 2006 Jo, Ants and their faithful tuk tuk (Ting Tong) took to the road on the trip of a lifetime, a 10,000 mile road trip from Bangkok to Brighton. Yes, you read right, a tuk tuk. One of those noisy, slightly uncomfortable machines you get catapulted around Thailand and India on. Find out why they embarked on their epic journey, and trace their route, on their website: http://tuktotheroad.blogspot.com/
At the moment they have raised over £23,000 for National Mind with the total still rising. An absolutely fantastic amount.
Jo, Ants and Ting Tong arrived back in Brighton on September 3rd to be welcomed by family, friends and workers from Mind in Brighton and Hove. Photos of their arrival are shown here: www.mindcharity.co.uk/tuktukphotos.asp
Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, said:
"The commitment that Jo and Ants have shown in their fundraising is phenomenal. It's very humbling to see the incredible effort they have put in, and the oppenness that they have shown in talking about their reasons for raising money for Mind.
People find it very hard to talk about mental health. Just by being willing to talk about it, Jo and Ants have made a fantastic contribution to breaking down the barriers of stigma. They're an inspiration for all of us, and we are extremely grateful for their outstanding support, and that of all those who are donating."
