This Sunday I'm doing a 10K Tough Mudder. This means I'll be running 10K and pausing every so often to take on 20 epically muddy and torturous obstacles. I'm putting myself through the claustrophobia, heights, electric shocks and freezing water in memory of my amazing Dad, who battled a serious mental illness for his entire adult life and refused to let it define him or prevent him from being the wonderful Dad, husband, son, brother and friend that he was to so many. 

It's been almost 2.5 years since I last hugged him and I remember it like it was yesterday. We miss him every day. 

I'm doing this for you Dad, for everything you taught me and continue to teach me through your absence. 

I know this is a tough time so anything you can donate to support the fantastic work that Rethink do to support people who are living with serious mental illness, and their families, would be hugely appreciated 🙏🏻✨
