I’m raising money for Mind because in 2022 I was diagnosed with a mental illness called Psychosis and recovering from this has been a really difficult challenge so i’m wanting to give back to Mind charity & help raise awareness and also raise some money to help support people who are in the same position I was in. I’ve always run from a young age starting in Primary school and competed for my secondary school and Sussex which started my running journey and then joined my athletics club Brighton Phoenix when I was 13. Things progressed and I won the English Schools championships for sussex when I was 18 years old over 1500m which kickstarted my athletics career and from there went onto compete for Great Britain multiple times with my best performance making the final at the European Indoor Championships and finishing 8th place but unfortunately not long after that I suffered a bad injury to my ankle which required surgery. I couldn’t get back to the same level of competition and that drove me over the edge mentally which spiralled into psychosis.
