If you've found your way to this page, then I urge you not to leave without donating some money!

I'm still not entirely sure why I've decided to run a half marathon with absolutely no running experience whatsoever. More than anything it's a personal challenge, I didn't enter it with a charity already chosen like most people and so picking one took a while but I finally went for 'Mind'.

Mental health is a difficult subject for many to talk about due to the simple fact it isn't always a visible problem. 'Mind' works tirelessly to break down barriers, stereotypes and stigmas surrounding mental health and offer vital support to those in desperate need. I'm sure you've all seen their latest advert and now is your chance to donate some money to continue their fantastic work. I'm not going to write walls of text about the chairy but I urge you to visit their website at http://www.mind.org.uk/ and have a read about what they do.

I'm not asking for much money, just a couple of quid - less than a pint! I'm not putting myself through 13 miles of hell for nothing!
