I have decided to set myself a new challenge to help raise  funds and awareness for Action for children.

Following a difficult year my son Harvey has been suffering with symptoms of anxiety and depression. I tried my hardest to support him  and assisted by  taking him to the doctors several times and also contacted his school to try and help him.

Harvey then had a survey to complete at school along with all the other pupils which resulted in him being contacted by Action For Children and he was offered a 6 week course which helped teach him how to manage his anxiety and also talk more about anything that was bothering him. Without doubt this has helped him go from a very quiet reserved lad who struggled so much in making it to school for his mock exams  into a much more confident young man who got excellent results in his final GCSEs and is now doing very well in his A level subjects.

Without doubt the help that Action For Children has given Harvey has been both life saving and life changing!!

I have therefore decided to commit the next 6 months to running at least 500 km (310 miles) starting on the 1st of December 2019 and finishing at the end of May 2020 to raise as much as possible for this amazing charity! 

I will be entering at least 2 half marathons and will be documenting the whole journey to keep track of the miles every week.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
