**Mega update: A most wonderful and precious friend of mine called Igor who lives in Ibiza is joining the cause!  He will run a half marathon on the same day in Ibiza. To support the cause and to support each other**

I am not sure where to start,  or what is appropriate to say...everyone has their own demons and they affect us in such a variety of ways.  

Some shop,  others do drugs, run-away,  self harm,  self sabotage, live a life that is shiny and bright on the outside when inside they are full of self loathing,  self doubt,  hatred for who they are and total disbelief that they are worth anything at all in this world.    

Some do all of the above.   Some don't find a way out . I did, and I would like to pass on that gift.  

Learning to understand my own mental health; rationalise it like a communication strategy budget,  understand it like algebra and have tools to keep on building myself has seen me live some of the very best and most authentic years of my life to date.    It has, thus far,  changed my approach to life for good. 

I would like to help someone else,  who can't afford the course to have the opportunity to realise their own self-worth,  discover their real inner strength and take them off the path of self-destruction. 

The course is £3300,  if I can raise that for one person I would be thrilled,  but lets start at £1000 and take it from there. 

I will be running my ass off (literally,  and probably my tits -  they are always the first things to melt away,  and yet my stomach seems to stay!!!  That's being almost 40 for you!!!)  doing the Hackney Half May 17th.  Thats 12 weeks today. 

Anything you can afford will be hugely appreciated.  I think if we all start small,  just helping one person each,  taking one moment a day to be kind,  the world would be a much nicer place to be. 

There are too many broken souls in this beautiful world and it is my belief that the Hoffman can help them mend.
