Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London marathon for Mind!

Mind is a wonderful charity which help people struggling with life in all different ways.

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

We believe no-one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We’ll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner.

People ask me why are you running for mind? The truth is because a friend wanted me to join her and she supports mind. I signed up, went on there website  and thought wow this offers so much help and advice available for people that really need it.

It got me thinking about my own life, I lost my mum at a young age (3) too young to remember her which through my life has caused me to ask questions about myself and who was my mum what was she like, how did she sound, silly things like that. I’ve been really lucky in that I had a great dad , Nan and Aunties who were amazing at bringing up my sister and I. But sometimes I still felt alone. There’s been times that I’ve found tough and maybe could have done with a little help from mind if I had known about the charity. So part of my fund raising is to raise awareness of mind. Nobody should feel alone and there is help out there if you need it.

Running and exercise has helped me in the past with my own mental heath so why not run a marathon 😃
