I am going to be battling through ice, fire, mud and steel at the Tough Mudder race on 6th May to raise awareness and donations for Mind - the Mental Health Charity. 

Mental health affects everyone, whether you directly or through a loved one. Each year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem, and so raising awareness of this and helping fund research and support can have a huge impact. I personally have experienced a mental health problem in the past, and so I am taking on the Tough Mudder challenge for myself as well as the many others like me. 

The Tough Mudder challenge isn't called tough for no reason! I will be running 12 miles - almost a half marathon - and in between doing some pretty horrendous looking challenges like jumping into an ice pool and running through electric fences. So if you want to help me support a great charity, or likewise see me endure several hours of physical misery, please help out by donating what you can to my page for Mind.

Thanks so much for your support!
