We are taking part in the Great North Run to raise money for State of Mind Sport; this charity harnesses the power of sport to raise awareness about mental health and aims to improve the mental fitness of the population with the goal of preventing suicide.

Tom’s Dad, David, has used this charity to help him overcome the mental challenges he has faced following a stroke in 2017. He attends weekly group sessions with other men in the local area where they discuss problems they face and how best to deal with them; this has massively helped David in his recovery and continues to help him come to terms with life following his stroke. Any money raised will go towards state of mind sport, who help to fund David’s weekly charity meetings.
