On the 2^nd October 2022, I will be running the London
Marathon in the support of Mind, a mental health charity providing advice and
support to anyone suffering from mental illness. I have chosen this charity because
of my own struggles over the years with depression and anxiety. Although I’ve always had a great support network around me, who I can speak too, seek comfort and advice from, not everybody does, and/or feels they can speak up. This is where charities like Mind really can help people, offering free advice and support over the phone and online. Mind also offer expert and professional courses all around the UK to help people spot the signs of mental illness, both at home
and in the workplace. Charities like Mind rely massively on donations and support from the public, and without it cannot continue with the great work they do, 1 in 4 people will suffer from some form of mental illness in their lifetime, so it’s imperative they can carry on the great work they do.

Thank you for taking your time out to read this.
