I am 50 at the end of next month (time absolutely flies by; yesterday I was 21 ha ha!). To mark this, I thought I would run 50K over 10 days (10 days x 5K leading up to my birthday on the 25th Feb (more than enough for me these days!). 

The primary aim of this is to help raise awareness of mental health and to encourage people to find the strength and confidence to open up and speak out if they are suffering. 

Manchester Mind is an independent, local charity, which supports over 6,500 children, young people and adults each year. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and we have a part to play in that. Our charity values the commitment of our staff and volunteers, who work hard to ensure services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved. Donations and help from our fantastic supporters make a real difference, so thank you for being part of our success this year.
