As you may be aware, I sustained an ankle injury during the Bath Half Marathon just before the London Marathon 2024. Unfortunately it meant I had to withdraw as I was not physically fit enough to participate. The good news is, I have been allowed to defer my spot with MindUK and will be running the 2025 London Marathon!

I set a target of £5,000. Thanks to the generosity of many of you, we raised £1,000 up to now for the 2024 marathon. This carries over, so the goal is £4,000!

I live with Depression; but it doesn’t rule my life.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Many would say “depression isn’t a mental health issue”, but it really is.

Millions of people live with mental health issues and millions more do so without even realising it. Raising awareness is so important.

But equally important is raising funding for mental health provision. Since 2010, funding for mental health services has been cut by 8.25%, with services withdrawn for millions of people and workers in the NHS, Schools, and other emergency services, as well as prisons and probation services.

Mental health services are at breaking point; that’s why fundraising is so important, and it’s why I’m so proud to be running for Mind at the London Marathon 2025.

Your mental health is vital; it’s doesn’t matter your age or gender - because your mind is equally fragile regardless of physical strength.

Please join me in raising awareness and funds for this amazing cause. Thank you!
