Thanks for visiting my page! As you may have heard down the grapevine I am taking part in my first half marathon in September and am hoping in doing so I can raise a bit of money for a great charity that is close to my heart, York Mind!

In recent years, advances in science and understanding have helped
remove some of the stigma surrounding mental ill health. Despite this
progress, those experiencing mental ill health daily face
discrimination, isolation and exclusion. These difficult factors can
lead to a loss of self-confidence, trapping the individual in a vicious
cycle of illness, isolation, relapse and recurring illness. York Mind work with people experiencing mental ill health to start on the pathway to recovery and aim to remove the stigma!

I hope by doing my bit I can help support them in some small way with their amazing work and raise more awareness at the same time!

Thanks for taking the time to read my story, if you would like to donate to this great charity that would be fab!

Here's to 13.1 miles and crossing my fingers that I make it over the finish line in one piece ;)
