Dear friends,

That’s me after my last London Marathon. Looking good 😳 I’m now three years older. But clearly no wiser.

So why do it again? Because sometimes it isn’t mind over matter. 

I have my own story of digging deep in the face of challenge over the last few years. Leaving work. Starting something new later in life. Bereavement. Illness. But all I’ve been through pales into insignificance compared to the mental health battles I’ve seen many people I’m close to go through. Their stories are theirs, but my commitment is to help raise awareness and provide help and answers for those whose lives are blighted by the everyday battle of just being here.

My ridicule is your reward for generosity. I’ll post regular updates, humiliating photos and give you all an enormous hug when it’s over. Come and watch on the day if you like - it’s fab.
