Story
I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 13th October come rain or shine to support Place2Be's work (being White & Case's charity partner this year) - www.place2be.org.uk.
Place2Be is a children's mental health charity working with pupils, families and staff in UK schools. Place2Be's work throughout the UK is really important.
1 in 8 children today have a diagnosable mental health problem. 50% of people with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age 14. Rates of depression and anxiety among teenagers have increased by 70% in the past 25 years.
I would be so grateful for any support you're able to give - together we can make a real and positive difference to children's mental health.
And please have your fingers crossed for me at 9am next Sunday (I'm just regaining fitness after 2 months out with a foot injury)!
