I am running the bath half marathon for a charity called Mind based in Bath. 

This charity helps people with mental health issues that they have going on in their lives.  1 in 4 people suffer with mental health issues every year - me included. This is something very close to my heart, as well as my day to day suffering, I also have friends and family going through the same issues. 

I want to do all I can to raise awareness for this amazing charity.

I want people to recognize that it is important to talk.

1 in 4 people experience mental health issues each year.

70-75% of people with diagnosable mental illness receive no treatment at all

Women between the ages of 16 and 24 are almost three times as likely (26%) to experience a common mental health issue

Up to 71% of military personnel who experience mental ill-health don’t seek professional help.

I want to help raise awareness for this very important charity and I am running the Bath Half to do this - please help me raise as much money as possible for this charity.
