Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Jack and I’m taking on my own challenge to raise money for Mind. I will be running 874 MILES, this is the distance of John O Groats to Lands End. I am aiming to complete this is just 3 Months. That’s 10 MILES a day for 88 DAYS. 

1 in 4 people will experience some form of mental health problem each year in England. In 2019 there were 5,691 suicides in England and Wales. Since COVID-19 that number is expected to have risen considerably. With suicide being the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. 

I myself struggled with mental health in the past, in a time where it wasn’t really talked about or recognised. Now people are realising the importance of it and it’s becoming acknowledged, and it’s amazing. I want to do my bit to help people who were like me, in a dark place. I want them to know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, people will listen and help you. Please speak up.
