RESTORE is a fabulous charity that helps people that are struggling with their mental health, wherever they are in their walk of life. I ran the Oxford Half for these wonderful people last year, but I signed up to the event 3 days before it started, which did not give a very large window for fundraising... or training for that matter. THIS YEAR EVERYTHING CHANGES. In exchange for your kind donations, I will actually use my legs and learn how to run. I'm currently in the make-a-pretty-running-plan phase of training. It's going swimmingly... (runningly?) So please donate anything you can to this wonderful charity and I, in return, will try and use my little legs as fast as I can.

Here is what RESTORE have to say about their fabulous work:
