OCD Action

Advocate 1
Moderator

The OCD Action Advocacy Service has been up and running for nearly two years and in that time has helped many hundreds of people, challenging discrimination, fighting ignorance, red tape and poor practice and getting an all round better deal for people with OCD

To keep on with our life changing work we need to find more funds to keep our project going.

I am therefore swapping one set of challenges with another! On July 10th this year, I will be taking part in the Deva Diva’s Triathlon. The race consists of a gruelling 500 meter open water swim in the river Dee, followed by a 25 k bike ride and then a 5 k run. It is a lifetime ambition but it is also a great way of raising money to keep our Advocacy service going.

If you want to support me, then please go to MY JUSTGIVING PAGE HERE photos to come later!
Many thanks
Jude

Worth noting that the Just Giving website allows you to preserve your anonymity even when paying with credit card, so those shrinking violets who don't want to use ther real names can donate without revealing their details to Jude or anyone else.

It all happens on the last screen of donation - just overtype your name, and leave all the communication boxes unchecked. I am pretty sure that will be enough to preserve my secret identity.....

Hello all and thanks for your kind remarks and support- it makes such a difference- I was lying in bed last night thinking ... what if I only raise £30!
I don't want to embarass anyone on here- but you know who you are..M the D and R(!) many thanks indeed for your donation- very generous and very much appreciated.

I am now upto £550 pounds- in a day!! and that is over half what I am expecting to get- with an anon donation of £500 !!!! People do care about the service and trying to help us help others!
I'll keep you updated- thanks so much again for your support!

Well done Jude, with gift aid it's over £700 and that's only on the first day and there's a long way to go before the day's out.

I see that you've already worn out one pair of trainers

If by any chance you need water wings I've got spare ones - I bought a job lot for the psychologist and doctors to wear so they don't drown when I bawl my eyes out
