In September 2018, I decided to make some healthy lifestyle changes... and joined a Redway Runner's beginner group and set out to change some unhealthy life routines. My main goal was to enjoy running for the first time in my life. It worked. In the spirit of overambition, I decided to set about finding myself a suitabily difficult challenge.

So why Mind?
Mental health affects 1 in 4 people in the UK each year.

Suicide is currently the leading cause of death for males aged 20 - 49 with a staggering 5821 deaths in 2017 (75% of which were men).

Working in school, it is clear that the mental health of our young people is becoming increasingly fragile and support services are not always available to those who need the most.
