Bath Mind is the local branch of the national mental health charity which millions of people turn to when they need support to keep their mental health on track. 

For me, these last few months have been a bit challenging to stay 'on track' and I'm lucky enough to live close to this brilliant City and it felt appropriate to support a charity that helps people to remain both mentally and physically in shape. The two sides of our wellbeing are so closely linked and it seemed like a natural choice to support the local Mind team in Bath. 

Those of you who work with me at Korn Ferry will also know that Mind is our Corporate Charity and I have seen our business really shift over the last few years towards taking mental wellbeing as seriously as physical wellbeing. We need to see more and more of this kind of shift in the corporate environment so I hope that by running I'll continue to help highlight the importance of wellbeing across all aspects of life.

It's predicted that 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem. The team at Bath Mind believe in 1 in 1, that every person has mental health, and deserves to have access to support and services without the fear of discrimination. 

If you can spare a few pounds to support me in what will be an excruciating Half Marathon, please do! It's going to be a long hard run, but the charity will keep me motivated...frankly I'd rather be eating a cream bun but I won't be able to justify stopping if I've got some sponsorship and support behind me!
