Thank you for visiting our fundraising page for 27 27 and choosing to support Mind. This March we will be running 27 miles in 27 days in solidarity of the 27% of students who report a mental health problem whilst at university.

More students are experiencing mental health problems than ever before. The number of students reporting a mental health problem is five times greater today than it was ten years ago, while the number of students dropping out because of mental health problems has trebled.

Every student taking part in the 27 27 challenge is sending a clear message: its time to take our mental health seriously, and we wont give up until everyone with a mental health problem gets support and respect.

Also, Elle will be running in particular for her mum, Jess, who was the bubbliest friend and most caring, kind, generous mum. Due to poor mental health Jess passed away in November 2019.
