I'm a bit late posting this but thanks so much for reading my page and please do be generous and donate. It's quite a high figure to raise but i'm sure you'll agree that it's for an excellent cause and one that has touched me, and I'm sure will have touched all of us or our families in some way.

Training has been tough so far so anything you can donate (£20 each seems like a reasonable place to start?) is thoroughly appreciated. It isn't quite a pound a mile but it will help me get round. I last ran a marathon in 2018 and I'm older, had two children, more tired and a bit fatter, so to make the training in the wet and cold worthwhile it would warm me to know that you've donated. I'm hoping to get around in around 4 hours so fingers crossed and i'll share my progress along the way.

Here's some info on MIND

When you're experiencing a mental health problem, supportive and reliable information can change your life. That's what we do. We empower people to understand their condition and the choices available to them through the following:

-Our Infoline, which offers callers confidential help for the price of a local call.

-Our Legal Line, which provides information on mental health related law to the public, service users, family members/carers, mental health professionals and mental health advocates.

-Our award-winning information, certified by the PIF Tick.

"Mind was such an invaluable source of information. I can't put into words how helpful they were for both of us..."
