Fundraising for Mind BLMK
Story
In 2018 I completed the 13.1 mile half marathon and followed up in 2019 with the 36km challenge (5km, 10km, 21km over three days) and I want to say a massive thanks to everyone for the kind sponsorships. As a reminder here are my times:
September 2018:
13.1 miles - 2:46:26
September 2019:
5K - 33:44
10K - 1:06:18
13.1 miles - 2:27:58
I guess I have to up the ante again, so this time I'm going for the full 26.2 mile marathon!
This will be a lot tougher for me and will require a lot of extra training so I have given myself till January 2021 to get ready.
I will be funding the travel, entry fee etc. all myself so all the money raised will go to Mind.
For those who don't know, the reason I picked Mind is due to my Uncle taking his life in early 2017. Due to the stigma surrounding mental health he was convinced his illness wasn't in his mind and must have been a physical problem. Mind are working to remove that stigma and get people talking and get people the help they need.
