When I began running in December 2021 I had no idea what a huge impact this would have on my well-being and that it would become such a passion in the same way music has always been to me.

As a huge supporter of the live music scene I'm fully aware of the challenges, uncertainties and pressures that artists and venues experience. Tonic Music for Mental Health is a charity based on the south coast of England promoting good mental health in the music industry by providing free training and support to music industry professionals. It was founded upon the belief that participation in music and the arts can aid you in your recovery from mental illness.

I'm very proud to bring my passion for running and music together and support Tonic this year and raise awareness of the great work that they do and keep the music industry thriving. Thank you for any donation that you can make to this fantastic charity.
