Hello to you all,

Reasons for runing the London Marathon for Mind:

1) Aim in life is to run a Marathon before the age of 40, and I'm running (pun intented) out of time. I shall be 40 on July 25th 2013.

2) If you are going to run 1 Marathon (and I'm thinking only 1) then London is the place.

3) Mind is a charity committed to raising awareness of Mental Health issues as well as providing practical assistance.

4) Having suffered from depression all my adult life running is the second best activity I've found to improve my mood. The London Marathon gives me the opportunity to improve the physical and mental health of myself and others.
