My friend Emily and I will be taking part in this fun run at Belfairs Woods on Saturday 2nd December.

I have had various struggles with my mental health over the years and wanted to do something positive to raise funds and awareness of this cause.

I am taking part in SECE Mind's Mental Elf run this December to raise money for my local mental health charity, South East and Central Essex Mind.

Times are hard and mental health is more important than ever with more and more people finding themselves in need of support.

I'm joining the fight for mental health with SECE Mind to help raise awareness and funds to keep vital mental health services open in our community. Thank you for your support!
