This year I have been training hard for my second London marathon for the mental health charity Mind. This year it has been a real struggle to get myself outside in the long cold evenings and I am so happy to say that the big day is almost here!

I am running in memory of our friend Ben as I often think of him as I'm pounding the pavements as he also took his fitness a little too seriously and I think he might have jogged along part of the with way with me or dragged me around when I was struggling.  Ben was a brilliant friend and Mind do some fantastic work to reduce the stigma around mental health difficulties so please, if you can, give what you can as every penny really does make the difference and it will all help to push me over the finish line.

Thank YOU so much xxxx
