Hi, 

As some of you are aware and others not on the 21st of April 2024 I will be running the London marathon. I have choose to run for the charity MIND, if many of you aren’t familiar with mind, mind is a mental health charity, which is very close to my heart and many others around me. Mind responds to over 119,000 calls and messages from people seeking help and support. 

My story: 

I myself at around February time was diagnosed with mental health problems, and found it really hard to reach out to anyone, I felt like I could never explain to anyone or anyone would understand what was going on inside my head and I felt trapped. My behaviour and actions were uncontrollable, i was suffering alone, and unfortunately hurting people that I loved around me. I had no motivation for day to day tasks, and had no love to life or to give. I suffered in silence and alone, and just didn’t think there would ever be a outcome to help me or get me better, After pushing away help many of times and refusing to seek help, and telling everyone “I was fine” and there was nothing wrong with me, when all i was doing was trying to convince myself. I finally reached out for help in the end and got the support I needed and help I needed. MIND was one of company giving me support and advice. I still have good days and bad days which is normal I’m human, and some days my anxiety try’s to take over my everyday tasks but I try and push past it. I am currently waiting for a ADHD assessment which can cause mental health problems when gone so long undiagnosed, this was noticed by professionals when I reached out for help. 

Many people out there don’t reach out and find it hard too, and it really isn’t easy, but remember you are never alone, and there is always so many people supporting you, and willing to help. 

I have lost friends around me and was taken away from us too soon. I dedicate my run to all those who we lost too soon, and the families, and anyone else who is battling with mental health, and is fighting. and myself because I never thought I would be here doing this.😇

YOUR NEVER ALONE❤️

Every little donation money will help go towards mind and will be a massive life changing help. 

This is a massive goal for me, and a massive step I am taking on so every little support will also help me achieve this, and I will be overwhelmed with all the support not for me but for this amazing charity. 

Thank you so much
