Story

It's now just a short couple of weeks until I'll be running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise money for the University's research into mental health and neuroscience.

This is a cause close to my heart - not simply because dragging myself out the door and going from slow plodder to jogger has been as much a mental task as a physical one - but because #anxiety is something I deal with on a daily basis. Running has been hugely beneficial to my state of mind... turns out those people who say exercise helps were right! One of things that the money will be used for is research into Alzheimer's, a hideous and heartbreaking disease which has currently taken most of my Granny's personality, though not her fighting spirit.
