Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

If you don't know me already, my name is Lola, I’m a 17 year old student in England and I am hoping to raise £500 for the charity ‘Mind’! I will be running the Bath Half Marathon (21.1k) in October this year which I am currently training for, and I’m so excited to have this opportunity to raise some money for a brilliant charity😊🏃‍♀️

Mind is an incredible charity that works towards informing the stereotypes surrounding mental health and empowering those struggling. In doing so, Mind has ,and continues to, promote understandings of mental health, campaign for improvement of mental health services and directly support so many members of the public across England and Wales.

In the words of mind “no one should have to fight alone”.

I am raising money for this charity because mental health is something we should all value and tend to, as well as looking out for those around us. I myself know many people, family and friends, who have struggled in various ways at various levels with mental health, as I’m sure many people reading this can relate to. Although a slight cliché, I believe a quote by Gary Smalley very well illustrates why we should make sure we are caring for our mental health as well as the minds that we surround ourselves with; ”life is relationships; the rest is just details”

Again, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to have a look at my page and, if you are at all able, any donation would be greatly appreciated💙🧠
