My name is nikki a few years ago at my lowest my best friend took me to dudley mind to get the help I needed as i suffer anxiety and depression.

I’ve also been running for a number of years and I love to run .

I’ve seen all the hard work they do especially over covid . I remember one night at nearly midnight calling them as I was so stressed and didn’t know which way to turn .. sandra the ceo was so understanding. I also did zoom meetings with them  and now I’m back at my group for people like me and no one judges you.

There are more cases of mental health and people like myself need help but dudley mind needs more funding  . I found out I got a ballot place and wanted to give something back to them .

Well on the 3 rd October I will be running the London Marathon for them .

This will be my biggest hurdle as I suffer from anxiety and depression but I can’t wait as it’s been a dream of mine.

Because of mind I’m very open about my mental health 

Thanks to dudley let’s stop the stigma xx
