Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to run for Mind because I am haunted by the fact that so many young people today are experiencing more mental health issues than previous generations before them which has no doubt been caused by the saturation of social media in our daily lives. 

Did you know that: 

1. Globally, one in seven 10-19-year-olds experiences a mental disorder, accounting for 13% of the global burden of disease in this age group?

2. Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents?

3. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-19 year-olds?

4. The consequences of failing to address adolescent mental health conditions extend to adulthood, impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults?

Therefore, I want to support Mind in ensuring that young people today who don't have anyone to turn to, can find help and safety with Mind.

This will be my second year running the Royal Parks half marathon and it it my mission to not only beat my last year's completion time but to also beat my fundraising goal of £1500!
