Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be running the London Marathon for Mind on 27th April 2025 in loving memory of my late husband Jim Usher, who we sadly lost to suicide in 2011. I am also taking on this challenge for our children, Billy and Jasmine, who give me the strength and purpose to move forward everyday and live life to the full.

Many people are fighting an inner battle that unfortunately we cannot see or they may not be able to speak about. At least 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in our lifetime.

I am running the London Marathon for Team Mind to help raise awareness of mental health and to raise funds so that Mind can continue to provide supportive and reliable information to people experiencing a mental health problem.

Here are just a few examples of the great work that Mind do:

-offer a Telephone Support Service to anyone in need

-Campaign for change in mental health services

-offer mental health training for workplaces

-offer a support website

Please make a donation to this fantastic cause, no matter how small.

Thank you for all your support and donations.

Love and hugs, Karen x
