For a long time mental health has been a very important issue for me. With 1 in 4 people experiencing a mental health problem of some kind each year (in England) this is a very common experience. And, yet, it is so easy to feel alone.

So, I have decided to enter into the Total Warrior 12k 2025 to step out of my comfort zone and to let people know that you are not alone. This run will involve obstacles that take you jumping over fire, diving through ice baths, being electrocuted and many more! Before this event I hadn’t run a 10K before let alone 12 and so I am training hard to make myself and everyone supporting me proud.

Leeds Mind are a great charity, affiliated with National Mind and the Mind federation, that devote themselves to helping those struggling with their mental health all over the city. Any donations to this incredible group is greatly appreciated!
