Running for Mental Health: Our Journey with the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2025

Each year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. This statistic represents not just a number, but real people—our friends, family, colleagues, and perhaps even ourselves. Yet, despite the prevalence of mental health issues, hundreds of thousands still struggle in silence. This is why we have decided to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon in 2025 in support of Mind, a remarkable charity that believes no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. Mind is there to listen, to provide support and advice, and to fight for those who can't fight for themselves.

Demi’s Running Journey

I’ve never been a fan of running—actually, I’ve avoided it for most of my life. But this year, I decided to challenge myself by signing up for a half marathon to support a cause that means a lot to me. This journey is way outside my comfort zone, and starting from scratch hasn’t been easy. Every run feels like a new hurdle —I’m just here to finish the race and make a difference for a great cause.
