For as long as I can remember my Aunt has struggled with her mental health.

As a young child growing up my family shielded me from witnessing the times when she was at her lowest and really struggling. But in my teens, I saw for myself the effect it was having on my Aunt and her relationship with her family and friends.

As a family we struggled to get her the help and support she needed – thankfully MIND are there to help in offering information, advice, and links to local services.

1 in 4 people have mental health problems – I want to run the 2025 London Marathon in support of MIND – raising money so that this charity can continue its work in supporting those that need it.
