Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Several people I know suffer with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. This seems to be increasing. During my time as a teacher, I have encountered several young people with mental health issues as well, with limited support and expert help available to them.

I was lucky enough to receive a place in the London Marathon through the ballot - after many years of trying without success!

I've decided to run for MIND - the mental health charity. I initially set a target of £500, but - having reached that already thaks to the kindness and generosity of people - I have decided to raise the target to £1,000.
