Story

On the 16th May I will be completing a Virtual Marathon in the comfort of my own garden due to Covid-19's strict instructions of how long your allowed outside for! This will consist of around 2000 laps! 

When diagnosed with Mental Health problems 17 months ago life wasnt great. It resulted in lack of energy, commitment and determination to do anything that I loved. On the 21st October 2019 I found myself participating in a Ultra White Collar Boxing Event. Since then I have now continuously exercised whether that be running, boxing, hiit training or gym. To many people out there they find exercising boring and too much effort but for me it has helped me come from a dark place to a place where I now love myself for how I look, feel and act. 

I want to raise money for a charity that helps create opportunities for people like me and help others understand that not being okay IS okay! 

MQ's vision is simple: to create a world where mental illness is understood, effectively treated, and ultimately prevented. With the help of our supporters and a global network of leading scientists we can make this a reality. Together we are championing and funding research into mental health that will change millions of lives.
