Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Samarathon is a fundraising initiative, which is a virtual marathon. It started in 2019 and was a great success, its now running for the second time this year.
We’re encouraging supporters to run, jog or walk a marathon distance in their own time over the month of July. 
It promotes how physical activity can have a positive impact on mental wellbeing.
Now more than ever we know getting active works wonders for your mental health and Samarathon is a great goal to motivate people to go at that their own pace. While we don’t know how long we’ll be observing social distancing and Government guidance on daily exercise, this is a challenge you can do on your own, with members of your household, or join with friends, family and work mates virtually, supporting each other progress wherever you are.
I believe being active really supports my mental health – you don’t have to run, just getting outside for a walk can have a positive impact on your wellbeing.
