On 31st May, I will be running the Bristol 10k - my first ever race! I took up running about a month ago to be more physically active and to help cope with stress. I have never run 10k before so this race will be a big challenge for me.

In addition to challenging myself, I want to raise money for Mind. Like many others, I have lost a loved one to suicide. Mind provides reliable information and support to people affected by a range of mental health conditions and campaigns to end the stigma surrounding mental illness.

Please help me raise money for Mind so that they can continue to fight for better mental health.
