Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In the last year or so I have been increasingly open about my mental health and the challenges it brings. I have also waxed lyrical about the satisfaction my new found love of running has brought me. 

By sharing my thoughts and experiences of both, I am pleased to say that I have not only received a huge amount of support from family, friends and even strangers but that my words and actions have encouraged others to talk to me about their or their loved one's mental health and/or talk up a more active life. This, in turn, inspires me further.

When I saw this challenge, I questioned whether I would be able to achieve it. I was concerned that  both my mental health and physical fitness were not ready to commit to the challenge. The reaction to my concern from family and friends has inspired me to go for it and I find that I am once again both feeling supported and inspiring others!
