Anyone that follows me on facebook or instagram knows me and knows my story and the challenges that I have faced with my mental health over the years. 

Each year I celebrate my sobriety birthdays with a challenge. I like to do something that pushes me outside my comfort zone. My first year I jumped out of a plane in Australia, my second year I threw my first sober event, for my third year (a month early) I'm gonna go run like Forest Gump and run a half marathon  (I mean there maybe some walking in there too) but I will try my hardest to keep running!!

The forward trust are an amazing charity that I now work for and I am extremely passionate about the work that they do I have seen it first hand how they change lives and I have seen the hard work that goes in to the running of the organisation and for that reason I would like to raise money for them, to enable them to save more lives and help people to get the fresh start in life that they deserve.
