COMMUNITY
AMBASSADOR AND FUNDRAISER
Ty completely embodies his role as an ambassador for mental health. He is actively making a difference to be part of the solution through motivating others to talk openly and shaping campaigns to target help and resources where they are needed.
THE JUNE 500
The June 500 Challenge was an active campaign in summer 2020 that raised tens of thousands for Dorset Mind. Ty spearheaded this challenge which mobilised hundreds of people to get active out of lockdown and walk, run, cycle or swim to complete 500km in June
STEP UP CHALLENGE
The Step Up Challenge came as a result of feedback from the June 500 community. Another challenge would help keep them active and raise additional funds for Dorset Mind, so it was a no-brainer for Ty to come up with this with his pals. This challenge from the start of November 2020 to just before Christmas challenged those taking part to complete one million steps as an individual, couple or group. This raised a further huge amount in the tens of thousands for Dorset Mind.
LIGHT ON
