Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you know, I do a lot of running. Over the course of the last few years, i've used my hobby to raise money for a number of worthy charities. This year is slightly different. I'm running for a charity very close to my heart.

In 2004, I lost my dear dad, who after suffering a series of mental health problems, took his own life. Since then, i've watched a series of friends, acquaintances, strangers and celebrities follow the same path. So, this year, i'm running for MIND, a charity which seeks to break down the taboos of mental health problems such as depression, and help those suffering to deal with their issues as effectively as they can.

I have no targets, just an open page for anyone who'd like to support my local MIND charity as I take on a series (12 so far!) of endurance races - to date I am registered for the No Ego headtorch run in Dalby Forest in January; the East Hull 20 mile race and Silverstone Half Marathon in March; the Hornsea 1/3rd Marathon and Manchester Marathon in April; the North Lincs Half Marathon and Beverley 10km in May; the Swaledale Fell Marathon in June; the Dalby Forest No Ego Half Marathon Trail Run in July; The Great North Run in September, and the Yorkshire Marathon and Gruesome Twosome in October.

Any support, from pounds to cheers, is appreciated!
