Fundraising for Mind
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my Justgiving page! On 26th April 2015 I will be running the Virgin London Marathon in aid of the mental health charity 'Mind'. I will be running in memory of my beautiful brother and partner-in-crime, George Trout, who, very sadly, passed away as a result of depression in May of this year.
I'm running for Mind because I want to make sure that those who are suffering in the way that my brother did are given the help that they need and deserve and because I know that George, as such a kind and loving soul, would have been absolutely delighted by the idea of other people being helped in his name. Losing George has been incredibly difficult but knowing that a difference, no matter how small, can be made in his name makes it all a little bit easier somehow. I want something positive to come from the most awful situation and to make sure that George's wonderful memory is kept alive.
I am by no means a seasoned runner and my only real aim is to get to the finish line in one piece (somehow?!). But I suppose my running prowess (or lack of) is not really important - I just want to help an incredibly worthy cause - and also George would have found it absolutely hilarious to think of his lazy sister running a marathon for him!
So, that's about it. I hope that you will donate (even just a couple of pennies will make a difference) or if not just send me very positive thoughts on 26th April (I will need them). Thank you very very much for your time and a big, huge, MASSIVE, thank you to everyone who donates!
