<p><strong>HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED SO FAR.</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>So, I have completed the run! Pretty tiring (didnt realise the first mile and a half was going to be one massive hill!) and the weather was probably the hottest its been all summer. But apart from that, it was all good.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Theres a photo up with my 'medal' to prove i actually got to the end! and my times are up on the nike + run to the beat page. Heres a few more <a href="http://sportcam.net/CompetitorDetail1.aspx?ID=5729808+&amp;type=No%2C470+&amp;Name">http://sportcam.net/CompetitorDetail1.aspx?ID=5729808+&type=No%2C470+&Name</a></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>Only 20 out of about 15,000 runners did it for Mental Health Foundation, so if you can support in any way that would be great.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>You've got until November 25th to Donate...so anyone whos just got a student loan, a new job, or a tax credit (unlikely!), stick a few quid in. its for such a good cause.</strong></em></p>

<p>I'm going to be running the Nike+ 'run to the beat' half marathon on the 25th September 2011. The course is 13.1 miles around Grenwich Peninsula and starts and finishes at the 02 arena/ Millenium dome/ big round waste of taxpayers money.</p>
<p>I am running on behalf of the Mental Health Foundation. Roughly 1 in 4 people in the UK have a mental health Through active research, the foundation hopes to:</p>

<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">campaign to raise awareness and remove stigma</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">provide high quality advice and information to help people better manage their mental health and wellbeing</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">provide practical solutions to improve the quality and access to mental health services in the UK</li>
</ul>

<p>Its for a really good cause, and having never ran this far before, will be a challenge for me! Any donations you could give would be fantastic. I'll keep you all updated with my attempts at training on here.</p>
