In March 2021, we sadly lost my partner Tina, after a long battle with her mental health. We are comforted to know that she has now found a peace this world could not give her.  We are running the half marathon in order to raise money for Mind services, who provide support to people like Tina, who are struggling with their emotional and mental health. 

Bath Mind are returning to the Bath Half to raise funds for their vital Breathing Space and Befriending services. Breathing Space, Mind's evening crisis support line, runs every evening throughout the year and provides a trained listening ear for anyone at risk of poor mental health. Their Befriending service is there to support anyone needing regular support and check in calls, where their experienced team listen and offer advice to promote positive health and wellbeing and building confidence around accessing different areas of support in the community. These services have proved to be a life line for hundreds of people in our community throughout the COVID-19 lockdown and beyond. Together, we believe that our Bath Half 2021 Bath Mind runners team can ensure these services can sustain and grow to support even more people across B&NES.
