Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have challenged myself to run the TCS London Marathon 2023 for MIND charity in my aim to both raise money for MIND and also continue to raise awareness of mental health, especially in young people.

Mental health is or will be a huge part of everyone's life whether effected individually or has effected a love one. My aim by running this marathon is to carry on raising the already high awareness of mental health and the effect it has on individuals and families alike.

I aim to raise AT LEAST £1000  for the charity who in their 2020/2021 annual report used their '£49.4 million' by:

• Helping people to stay well.............£6.8m, 14%
• Giving people choice............................£4.5m, 9%
• Improving services and support....£11.8m, 24%
• Helping people take part in
society equally....................................£15.4m, 31%
• Making access to services equal
for everyone............................................£4.5m, 9%
• Expenditure on raising
donations, legacies, events and
organisational development............£6.4m, 13%

(Mind, 2021)

You can see their most recent annual report here:

I will try to record, document and post my 'Marathon Journey' as much as possible on here or my other social medias.

Please if you can, however big or small your donation is, consider donating on this page to help me reach my target! It will be massively appreciated not just by me but the charity also!

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read this!

Tom
