This month I'm challenging myself to run 100 miles as part of Keko London's Mind Marathon to support Mind in Brent, Wandsworth and Westminster. 

I wouldn't really call myself a "natural runner" - a year ago I couldn't run 5k without stopping - but I've found running to be one of the best ways to help with my own mental health*, so why not use that to help others?

Mental health is a subject very close to my heart and the local Mind hubs offer practical community-based support, as well as training to breakdown stigma and increase awareness.

*Alongside conventional talking therapy & recognising that mental health is by no means linear!
