Fundraising for Shout and The Mix
Story
Hello and thank you for visiting my 2023 London Battersea Park Half Marathon fundraising page.
This is my first Half Marathon (ahh!) and I am really looking forward to achieving something on my bucket list and hopefully reaching my target of £1000 for the wonderful charity Shout.
Shout is the UK's only free, confidential and 24/7 text messaging service for anyone struggling to cope with their mental health. Every 60 seconds, someone reaches out for support and has a conversation that could save their life.
We all have mental health, just as we all have physical health. Mental ill health can strike at any time and can affect everyone. Slowly we are breaking the barriers of talking about our mental health with it being recognised, discussed and supported. However, although things are improving, stigma still exists, and as a Mental Health First Aider I know how invaluable the work of this charity and its volunteers do for those that are struggling and provide a less exposing way of reaching out for support.
Please donate as much or as little as you can - anything would mean a great deal to me and the work that this amazing charity does to help improve future lives.
Thank you so much,
(I will also try and run as fast as I can tehehe!)
