Thank you for checking out my JustGiving page. I’m really excited (and nervous) to be running the Great North Run as part of Team Mind!

Mind are a mental health charity working to ensure that everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. They provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem, and campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. 

Every year one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

Access to mental health support is not only something I am incredibly passionate about, it is also a cause very close to my heart because three years ago I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and it is something that still affects me today.

Having access to mental health support has changed my life and I couldn’t imagine going through what I did without support. I appreciate I was lucky, I had access to incredible mental health services. But service provision across the U.K. varies and accessing help can be difficult. 

Because of Mind, millions of people have access to the advice and support they need thanks to Mind’s information and services both nationally and locally. They’re building on change, but there is much more to do.

Any money you can give to support the amazing work of Mind would be very much appreciated ❤️
