Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On October 9th this year I will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Mind. I wanted to raise money and awareness of this incredibly important charity who have, over the last 60 years, worked to improve the lives of anyone suffering or affected by mental health issues.

In any one year 1 in 4 of us will experience mental distress. It affects people from all walks of life regardless of health, race, age or personal circumstance.

Please do take time to watch this short video on the work of Mind.

Aside from fundraising for Mind, the Royal Parks event will provide the opportunity for me to reach a personal goal of running my first half-marathon. Please do sponsor me and help me reach this goal and to support this very worthwhile charity.

Now the sciency bit..how to donate..

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks and if anyone would like to come and support me on the day I would be very touched.
