Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running the London marathon to raise funds for Mind.  Mind provides facilities and guidance for those suffering from or recovering from the effects of mental ill health. 

1 in 4 people will suffer a mental health problem in the course of a year with anxiety and depression being the most common form.  Self harm statistics in the UK are amongst the highest across Europe while suicide rates in males remain tragically high.  

As well as raising money for Mind I hope my efforts can help to raise awareness of the unfortunate stigma still attached to mental health issues as well as help make people aware of the help that is currently available. 

I'm following the same18 week training programme which got me through last years Edinburgh marathon in a time of 3h 58min and 46sec.

Everyone has a close friend or family member who has at some point been affected with mental health issues therefore I would be extremely grateful for any support - however big or small - that you could provide. 

Many thanks,

Craig
