Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page

I’ll be running the 2021 Brighton Marathon on the 12th September for Northamptonshire Mind.

Family and close friends will know of the significant struggles that my mum had with various mental health illnesses. She endured these over a number of decades.

When I think back to it at times it seemed that simply trying to get the right help and from the right people was the most distressing part.

As a result Northamptonshire Mind stood out to me as the most appropriate charity. Firstly because Northamptonshire was the region she mainly lived in over this time. Secondly because of the wide ranging advice and support that Mind offered to her which is available to anyone who needs it.

Given the breadth of support she’d received over the years from health organisations and other charities many of the options felt exhausted. This often meant that the few ways that they could help was to remind of coping strategies or just to simply be there at the end of the phone to listen. Sometimes just having someone there was all that was really needed.

I hope that by raising some money towards this great charity it will help support somebody else in need.

Thanks
