I’m running my first ever half marathon!

I just turned 26, and like many people my age, I’m feeling the effects of a ‘quarter-life crisis’ - which may or may not have played a role in my decision to sign up for this half marathon!

I’ve never quite been as fit as I’ve wanted to be, and improving my running has always been a goal of mine. Signing up for a half marathon has given me the perfect incentive to stick with it - and so far, it’s working!

Still, I’m beyond excited to be taking part in this event and to finally kick off my running journey.

I’ll be running and raising money for the Mind HFEH charity, a cause that resonates deeply with me due to my own mental health struggles and those of my family. This charity’s work has been a source of support and hope for many facing similar challenges. I truly admire what the charity is doing for people facing mental health challenges, offering the reassurance that we’re not alone in this fight.

Any donation you can make would mean the world and will have a real impact on this important cause. Thank you in advance!.
