I'm really proud to be representing Mind for a cause so close to my heart. My mental health really hit an all time low at the start of 2022 and despite struggling for months prior, I never could see a way out. By the time the race comes round in May I would have been on medication for a whole year which is something I never thought I'd be saying but it was the best decision I ever made for myself. Asking for help and accepting I wasn't okay was the hardest part and I really want to reiterate that it really is okay not to be okay.

This race isn't only to be proud of how far I've come but is dedicated to Piper’s dad Ollie who sadly lost his life without any warning signs to anyone. Piper, Emily and I are running this race for him and we hope you can support us in breaking the stigma on mental health.
