Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April I will be attempting my first marathon and it will be the big one in London!

I am doing this run in aid of "Mind - The Mental Health Charity". Mental illness affects 1 in 4 of us including myself.

I have suffered complications with depression and anxiety for many years. In the past it has resulted in me losing my job, losing relationships, a decrease in my self-confidence, seen my weight swing up and down, losing contact with friends & loved ones and become far more reclusive.

Recently, my father has been diagnosed with Bowel cancer. The news came as a complete shock to the family and it sent me on a spiral back into anxiety and depression again after a period of recovery.

Through the work Mind do, they have helped me rebuild my confidence and feel better by myself. Now I want to give something back for the work they have done and continue to do for me.

Please donate what you can, either through me directly, online here or you can text MEZZ85 followed by your amount to 70070 (for example MEZZ85 £5 to donate £5, MEZZ85 £10 to donate £10 etc). 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Training updates will be posted here up to the event on April 28th.

Thanks everyone!
