On October 1st 2023 I will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon, this is something I’ve wanted to do for such a long time but never felt I could dedicate myself to it. After the last few years and seeing the effects that lockdowns, sport, loss of family/friends has done to the mental health of myself and the people around me, I felt that there was no other charity I wanted to support than Mind.
As a teenager, an athlete, a young worker and as a friend, I’ve noticed that every person around me has struggled at some point, and I am hoping that by raising money for Mind I will help someone through their day.
Raising awareness for a charity like Mind is also so important, to let people know that they CAN be helped and there are people out there who won’t judge and will try their best to support you whether it’s friends, family, or the people working with these charities.
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks from myself and Mind.

Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need. This has to change.
We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you.We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems.
We support minds – offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services. And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference.
Join us in the fight for mental health. We won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.
