On the 21st of April 2024 I will be running the London Marathon. It’s something I have wanted to do but never thought I could, so here goes. 4 years ago I couldn’t even run 10k so 26.21 miles is going to be a challenge!

I am very excited that I will be running the marathon and raising money for Mind. Those that know our family know it’s something that has sadly affected us. It’s not just the person suffering but everyone around them.

1 in 4 will experience mental health issues in their life

Every week it effects:

Depression: 3 in 100 people

Phobias: 2 in 100 people

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): 1 in 100 people

Panic disorder: fewer than 1 in 100 people

I am hoping I can do my small bit to help raise awareness and help those who need it.

Mind provides incredible support

Please spare any change you can as I need to raise £2000 for the charity and you can track my training and runs. Even an £1 a mile would be amazing! Thank you in advance.
