My Story

We all know someone who suffers from mental health issues, and we all have our own mental health battles.

The leading cause of death for men aged under 50 in the UK is suicide. That is scary!

For me, mental health is as important if not more important than physical health, and we all need to take care of it as much as we can. Many people have a great support network around them to give them that boost that they need when they're feeling life is a bit too much, but others have no one, no one that understands their problems or they feel too ashamed to speak out... that's where Mind comes in!

Mind provides free information, advice and support to those in need when they need it most. It's an amazing charity that really does make a difference.

With the help of Mind we can get people talking, break the stigma and give people the support that they really need.

I'm running the London marathon in April 2023 to raise money for Mind. I could think of no better way to raise money than through exercising. Exercise helps my mental health no end. After a run, I often feel like my worries have halved.

I'm sure it's going to be a great experience, but it's' going to be tough. I'll post updates of my training as we get closer and keep you all updated.

If you could donate anything at all, your money will make a difference.

Thank you ! x
