Hi, thanks for popping over to my JustGiving page.

Call me crazy or stupid but after 3 months of running I decided I needed a bigger challenge for a great cause so here we are, Manchester Marathon April 2025 with my ever supportive partner Arran (and also Milton Keynes Half Marathon in Dec 2024).

I’ve decided to raise money for a charity which continues to support my family on a daily basis. My mum and best friend is diagnosed with ADHD and PTSD and has a number of physical disabilities meaning she is unable to get around unaided anymore. She is a ray of sunshine all day every day but has needed a little extra support for a while.

Mind has been there for her through thick and thin (namely her worker who I will keep anonymous but he knows who he is). I honestly don’t know what she or our family would have done without their support. It’s been a tough couple of years and my mum is still trying to get all the answers and support she needs, but I want to do my best to repay some of the gratitude I have towards Mind and their work.

I don’t expect much if anything but if you have a spare £1 I would be forever grateful. I promise to post pictures of me in pain recovering the week after the marathon as payment 😂

Thank you thank you thank you to anyone who donates, you’re absolute legends!
