Hi everyone, 

This October I will be running the London Half Marathon for the charity Mind. Mind works across the UK and Wales to provide supportive and reliable information to those experiencing mental health issues that can change your life. Currently they are campaigning for a range of issues including, people with mental health problems, children and young people, people in poverty and Stand For Me which is a campaign, holding the Welsh government to their promises on mental health. By supporting Mind you will be supporting life changing experiences and providing opportunities for working communities and schools to thrive in their working environments, especially those with mental health problems. 

Mind, along with many other charities who support improving mental health, holds a significant place in my heart. The loss of my father at the age of 5 due to suicide has opened up my perspective on how different people deal with grief and how important having access to mental health support through difficult times is. My dad was an active man who loved challenging himself and pushing to the extreme. 

I'd really appreciate any donations. Katie xx
