Two of the labdesk directors are looking to kick off this fund raise with a bang. They have been planning this challenge for a few months, and have now confirmed all funds raised will go to support the mission of Peace and Mind UK.

Who are Peace and Mind?

'Planting Seeds of Resilience, Empathy & Unity'

Peace and Mind are dedicated to improving mental health in today’s society, by promoting mindfulness to create a more compassionate and supportive community for all.

THE REALITY - The Impact of Modern Technology

The modern world in which we live has made life easier in some ways but seems to have impacted our mental health negatively.

Young people have a far more complicated life now with the technology available. Smart phones and social media have increased pressures on both young people and their parents.

We have 24 hour information overload in our hands. Information ranging from all of the troubles in the world, to filter perfect Instagram models.

 

The Challenge - 30x30

What do you get when you combine a 30kg sandbag, 30+ kilometres of terrain, and 2 of the labdesk directors?

A fund raising challenge like no other!

The labdesk directors are taking on the 30x30 challenge to raise funds and awareness for Peace and Mind UK.

The 30x30 challenge is not for the faint-hearted. It involves carrying a 30kg sandbag over 30+ KM of varied terrain. The directors will have to endure physical and mental fatigue, muscle soreness, blisters, and weather conditions. They will have to work as a team, support each other, and push themselves to the limit.

They aim to complete the challenge in under 12 hours, but their main goal is to finish it together and raise as much money and awareness as possible for Peace and Mind UK.
