I have been a GP in Andover for over 30 years and I see first hand the problems of mental health. Every Day. Many times.

More people committed suicide in the UK in 2018 than died in road accidents, opiate overdoses or terrorism put together, but so often it is below the radar and doesn't get the news it needs or the funding it deserves.

So  I am committing to run EVERY DAY in January to raise money for MIND. Your support will keep me going on the cold mornings or dark nights, and raise vital funds for supporting mental health. Exercise is after all one of the best drugs we have. I might get a bit fitter but REDers have raised £1.7m for Mind making a real difference for people with mental health problems
