Dear friends,

I am fundraising for Breathworks, a small charity based in the UK with a mission to make mindfulness accessible to all. In particular, Breathworks enable people living with chronic pain, illness and stress to reclaim them lives, learning how to work with their minds and bodies, rather than against them.

For Small Charity Week (24 - 30th June), friends of Breathworks have been invited to take part in this special Community Fundraiser, a form of sponsored silence across 7 days where we each choose a challenge to commit to. This will raise funds for seven young adults in hardship to access the life-changing benefits of mindfulness & compassion training, which I myself have found so valuable.

To play my part in Silence for Seven, I have decided to commit to 32 hours of silence. This is because having suffered with anxiety and depression for 15 years I have found the benefit of mindfulness, it will be challenging for me as the last thing I want is to be alone with my thoughts, I am hoping upon completing this challenge I will understand myself more thoroughly.

I would be incredibly grateful if you could support me with a donation - no amount is too small!

Thank you!
Mark Mark Stirling
