Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in support of SeafarersUK.

Since yesterday (14 May 2019) was "focused" on the healthy living element of positive mental health and its benefits as part of the 2019 Mental Helath Week I thought that I'd announce to you all that I am planning on Running the Nottingham Marathon on 30th November 2019. 😳

There are a huge number or reasons I've chosen this race, but one of them is the fact that this would of been my mums' 64th birthday and for many years as I grew up she suffered from Stress and Depression due to the death of my father when I was just 4 years old.

So I have decided to run a Marathon for Seafarers UK as it was one of the charities that supported us as a family when I was growing up.  They found out that my dad had been killed in a maritime industrial accident and they made sure that every year that my little brother and I had something to open at Christmas. 

I feel it's a worthwhile tribute to give back to this amazing organisation, on the behalf of a woman that gave everything she could for me and my little brother, whilst struggling with mental health issues every single day brought on by the loss of the man she loved.

So I would like to thank you for visiting my just giving page and giving what you can to help me on my way. 

I will be posting regular updates and progression with my training for anyone that's interested...
