Story

This year I will be running the London Marathon, representing MQ, mental health research. This cause is of course so important to not only me but for everyone in society. Thank you so much for any donations you might consider giving. It is massively appreciated.



MQ's vision is simple: to create a world where mental illness is understood, effectively treated, and ultimately prevented. With the help of our supporters and a global network of leading scientists we can make this a reality. Together we are championing and funding research into mental health that will change millions of lives.Right now, one in four people in the UK is living with a mental health condition. That's nearly 15 million people with an illness that affects their wellbeing, their relationships with family and friends, and their ability to work. The experience can be painful, exhausting and isolating.Despite extraordinary advances in treating physical health conditions, progress in understanding mental illness, and research into its causes, treatments and prevention, is nowhere near equal. It woefully short, leaving millions of people worldwide without the help and support they need. We're here to change that by funding cutting-edge research. Better is possible.
