Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running a half marathon, the great Scottish run in Glasgow on October 2nd this year. At the start of the year I hadn't run more than 5k, so there's been a lot of training so far!
I am supporting OCD-UK as its very close to my heart. My mum has suffered from OCD all her life, and during the pandemic, our eyes were really opened to how much of a daily battle OCD is for her. People always think OCD is just having an overly tidy and clean house, but it is much more of a complex mental illness than a lot of us think. It can make the smallest thing very difficult and stressful, very much limiting what you can do on a day to day basis.
I want to raise awareness of the struggles people have with OCD, and would like to support OCD-UK in their battle to help people like my mum fighting with it.
All donations are very much appreciated!
