I have been inspired by the London Marathon ever since I was young and have been given the opportunity to run it by such a wonderful charity.

I will be raising money for MIND and in the process hopefully raising awareness around the high numbers of young people sadly taking their own lives.

For various reasons, the pandemic, and events happening around that time had a real impact on my mental health. I was fortunate enough to feel able to talk and get help from family and friends. Unfortunately, this was not the case for my friends and training partners. Five of them passed away due to their battle with their mental health. All were amazing young men with so much ahead of them. RIP.

Any donations, shares or words of support is greatly appreciated.
