London Marathon is the greatest event in the world - and I am absolutely thrilled to have got a place, and to fundraise for Mind in Gwent. Running has been an outlet for me whenever I am feeling stressed, drained, or overwhelmed mentally and I am running to raise awareness of Mental Health Services and to along the way encourage wellbeing conversations along completing some silly running challenges. Any donation amount you can spare, will be greatly appreciated, and help with the training preparations, especially during the cold, dark, winter months! Thank you!

Mind in Gwent:

We offer a wide range of services including counselling, peer support, crisis intervention, supported housing, and outreach for people experiencing mental health difficulties.

Our services are person-centred, trauma-informed, and accessible to those most at risk of poor mental health, including young people, marginalised groups, and individuals in poverty. We address the growing demand for mental health support, especially as funding pressures and the cost-of-living crisis impact the communities we serve.
