Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

      I’m not a natural runner. At school I once ran 1500 m on sports day and not only came last by a spectacularly long way, but also nearly fainted in the process! I started running a year ago and have managed to build up to running my first 10 k. My goal is to run it in under an hour.

      I’ve spent 7 years researching mental health and in the process met an incredibly inspirational man, Tom McAlpine. He received an OBE for his services to mental healthcare nationwide in 2012 after 40 years working in the industry. Tom is chairman of the charity MoodSwings, where they help many people with mental health problems, with group and individual therapy sessions. Their therapy sessions include life coaching, to help clients make positive changes to their own lives to allow them to recover from serious mental health problems and remain well.

      Please help me show my support for Tom and his charity, so that many more individuals with mental health problems can benefit from the fantastic support this charity provides.
