2020 has been a difficult year for most of us, but it's been especially hard for those who suffer from mental health problems. I'm aiming to run 10km everyday in 2021 (starting on 1 Jan, even after celebrating NYE!) to raise money for Mind so that those who need mental health support are able to access it. Here's hoping that 2021 is a better year for all of us, but even if it is then the lasting impacts of the pandemic mean that mental health support is likely to be needed by many for years to come. The NHS is at capacity and so this is where charities such as Mind come in to pick up the pieces and help those in need.
Those who know me will know that I like to run, but this is a challenge that will stretch even my love of running. I will run at least 10km everyday, and some days I will run more. I'll upload my Strava runs to this page so that you can all keep an eye on me and make sure that I'm doing it. You can also follow my efforts on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/JoBK10km
I'm aiming to try and raise at least £5000, having already exceeded my initial target of £2021!!! I know this is a big ask, but every penny raised will be a massive help in ensuring the ongoing support provided by Mind. My huge thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
Here's hoping for beautiful, dry and sunny weather for the whole of 2021!
