Story

I have been a lucky boy - this year I have a place for London Marathon. 

I’ve dreamed of running the marathon since I started running and always planned to a) run it for a charity b) in fancy dress

So lets tackle the first - after a horrendous year, severe depression and finally a diagnosis of low B12.  I have decided to run for Mind UK who offer support for many forms of mental illness.   They do epic work!

And so to the fancy dress…. I am planning on running naked.

Mental Illness can strike anyone, it strips drive, dignity and your ability to function.

Ok so not naked - I will be running in sandals, a pair of shorts, my race number and the slogan “mental illness strips anyone” and that will be it.

Anything you can give to support me and Mind, will be hugely appreciated.

See you at the finish with a very big grin on my face!
