Story
Welcome to my just giving page - Ned's Marathon for Mind.
I am running this Brighton marathon on the 6th of April in order to raise awareness of the struggles that people experience with mental health. I have chosen this mental health charity 'Mind' due to the difficulties I have been exposed to throughout my life.
Just like everyone in the world, I have had my share of ups and downs but I believe that the ups are often spoken about more than the downs; when actually both are just as important in making someone the person they are today.
I have decided to embark on this journey to prove to myself and all of you that we are capable of overcoming any challenge we face and that sometimes you need to have moments of pain to experience the times of glory and greatness.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me with my struggles with mental health and everyone who will be supporting Mind through my journey for this marathon.
I aim to complete the marathon in under four hours, however I do believe that the journey itself and crossing that finish line will prove enough to both myself and others how any challenge can be overcome. I have also set a target of £2025 pounds but any amount I can contribute to Mind is highly valued.
If possible please share my story and the link to this page to help support me in reaching my goal of £2025 and raise awareness of mental health.
Any donation will be hugely appreciated and thank you for taking time to read my story. I will be posting updates on my social media and on this page about my training and journey.
Thank you all,
Ned
