Thanks so much to all who have sponsored us, we really appreciate it! We completed the half marathon ‘Run to the Beat’ on 27th September - 13.1 miles dressed as She-Ra and Cave girl! Suzy did it in 2:34 and Andi's time was 2:46. As promised, photographic evidence has been added!
The money raised has gone to support the charity MIND, the leading mental health charity for England and Wales.
It’s a very worthwhile cause. Here’s a bit of info about MIND:MIND campaign vigorously to create a society that promotes and protects good mental health for all - a society where people with experience of mental distress are treated fairly, positively and with respect. They provide information and support, campaign to improve policy and attitudes and develop local services. They do all this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives and play their full part in society.
Mental illness is far more common than you think: Mental illness can happen to anyone and it's common; 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem at some point. In addition, poor mental health often leads to other serious problems such as homelessness and substance abuse.
Thanks very much for your support!
