"We set ourselves a 10k challenge at the beginning of the year..this may not seem far to some but for me as a veteran (not running veteran !) this is a big challenge..my app is ready and now I need to start the programme...the event is the Southampton 10k which is being run with the marathon.....why ? I believe that physical exercise is an amazing way to help overcome or deal with mental health issues or stress and believe passionately in the work being done in Solent Mind by very dedicated staff." - Diane

"I’m not by any means a “natural” at this running lark, but running is really helping me to look after my mental health, so if I can raise some money for Solent Mind at the same time, we all benefit. Like Di, I feel a tad daunted by a 10K distance, but we’ll help each other through by the power of peer support." - Sue
