For the people who don't know me, my name is Eden and I am participating in the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2024 to raise funds for Team Mind.

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

This marathon is not just about running; it's about raising awareness and support for those battling mental health issues.

A couple of years ago, someone extremely close to me ended up in hospital due to their mental health, as they could not see a light at the end of the tunnel. Thankfully, they have since recovered and after getting help and working on themselves, they are thriving and better than ever. I could not imagine my life without them in it and that's why I am raising awareness and running for Team Mind.

They believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone and are there to listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner.

Please join me in supporting this cause by donating to help us reach our target amount of £350. Your contribution will go a long way in providing vital support to those in need.
