Story

I'll be running the London Marathon on the 24th April 2016. I've never run a marathon before (or anything longer than 5k to be honest!!) so this is going to be a huge challenge for me, but one that i'm super enthusiastic to tackle!

Having spent many of my teen years battling Anorexia Nervosa, the charity Mind is one that is extremely close to my heart. i know first hand the importance of having proper treatment available, and funding into this kind of thing is so important! Which is why i've chosen to commit myself to running the marathon for Mind.

this summer my cousin lost her life to suicide, which absolutely devastated my family and those who knew Hannah. I have a few close friends and family members who are currently battling with mental illnesses, too, and so it would mean so much to me and them if you would be able to donate some money to Mind, and support me whilst i train and run this marathon! 

I'm finally in a healthy enough place both mentally and physically to commit myself to such a difficult task (both on my body and on my mind!), i'm so proud of myself for getting to the place i'm at today and it would mean the world to me if you would be able to support my efforts to help others who are struggling themselves. Thank you so much!!
