Woman preparing to do 100 star jumps a day next month to aid mental health charity
A WOMAN is preparing to do 100 star jumps a day next month to raise money for a mental health charity.
Clare Hurst will take on the challenge throughout August in support of Mental Health UK.
The 38-year-old, of Heckmondwike, said: "I've suffered with my mental health in the past and I wanted to do something to help such an important charity so it can help others.
"Mental Health UK is a charity very close to my heart, and I'm determined to do these 100 star jumps throughout August to raise as much money as I can.
"I also want to raise awareness of mental health and get more people talking about the topic.
"I've overcome many challenges with my mental health, but I want other people who are suffering to know that help is out there, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and things will get better."
Clare thanked everyone who has supported her so far.
