Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

R.E.D January is a charity challenge helping to shine a light on mental health issues by running every day in January, all in association with the charity Mind.

Team members will be running for a challenging 31 consecutive days, all at varying distances and all for one key goal; to help give everyone experiencing a mental health problem the support and respect they deserve.

Join the fundraising team and help turn January and beyond, from blue to R.E.D.

"I took up running about 3 years ago. I used to do cross country running at school, but never saw the pleasure in it. Now, I find running to be one of the best ways to switch off. It's my time. A time without questions. A time without worrying about things that aren't in my control.

Running has helped change the way I feel about myself and the way I live my life.

I couldn't think of a better way to start the year than with R.E.D January - I was recently shocked to read the high mental health statistics and suicide rates amongst men my age. If taking part in R.E.D January helps shine a brighter spotlight on mental illness and raise awareness of this ongoing issue within my generation, I will feel proud to put my running shoes on everyday in January."
