Bea’s story<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

“My name is Bea<\/strong>, I am 17 years old. In my early school years I <\/span>had lots of friends and was a happy and healthy kid.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But when I started being bullied I felt very depressed and started getting ill and missing lots of school.\u00a0In the end, I had to drop out of school.<\/p>\n

\u00a0It wasn\u2019t until I found Red Balloon (a centre that supports young people being bullied), that my confidence began to build, my health improved and I made some good friends, too!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m now about to <\/span>walk 115 miles<\/strong> to the South Pole<\/strong> for The Red Balloon Learner Centre to say thanks for how much they helped me and others like me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already raised over \u00a37,000<\/strong> and <\/span>will be the third youngest person<\/strong> ever<\/em> walk to the South Pole!<\/span><\/p>\n
