My story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 6th October I will be running the Chester Marathon to raise funds for Platform for Life, an important charity that does amazing working supporting people in Chester with their mental health.

As a small local charity, Platform For Life isn't as visible as the bigger and better-known charities and it's a constant challenge to raise the funds it needs to keep delivering free-to-client counselling, art therapy, play therapy and family support work.

I work at the Countess of Chester hospital and in my job, I see the consequences poor mental health has on people's lives every day. So I want to do my bit to help by raising funds for a local cause that helps teens and young adults in my local area with their mental wellbeing. Three years ago I took up cycling and running to get fit and improve my mental health. This year I set a goal to do the Chester 10k, then the half marathon and now I've decided to go for the triple, do the full marathon and help Platform for Life at the same time.

Please donate as little or as much as you can. Every donation makes a difference - thank you.
