I am going to run every day in January for Mind because no one should have to face the hardship of mental illness alone. Being a full time Nursing student this is going to be a challenge fitting it in to essays, university time and placement. I hope some of you can support me through this by giving, even if it is only 1p, every penny counts! 

A few years ago I faced some mental health struggles of my own, feeling alone and worthless, not even having the energy to get out of bed, stepping out into a dark, black hole. This worried and scared my family and friends but I had no idea I worried them as much as I actually did. Fortunately I d them to help me though it, but some people don't. If I didn't have that support network, I know my life would be very different from what it is today.

To many of you, a run a day won't seem like a challenge, but for anyone who knows me, running is an anxiety provoking experience throygh fear of having an asthma attack or not being able to breathe. This is possibly the hardest thing I've done for charity and I hope you can support me and MIND.

No one should have to face mental illness alone. Please give :) I will update on my progress throughout the month! :D
