<p>Thanks for visiting my just giving page :D&nbsp;</p> <p>I probably don't need to explain this by now, but I will anyway. I've suffered from OCD for a very long time, but I'm slowly getting better, and I can safely say that the majority of my progress is down the THIS amazing charity. They offer information for both sufferers and carers, and advice and support through the OCD-UK forums.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>I know a lot of people don't think mental illness is a big deal, but it is. </strong>I hate to throw statistics at you, but 1 in 4 people <em>will </em>be affected by mental illness at some point in their lives. If you ask any one of those people, they'll tell you, <strong>it is a big deal.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Anyway, I'm running the half marathon at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival on 27th May, and I'd really appreciate all the support I can get - <strong>pennies or pounds, or just a hug :)</strong> And let's face it, you know you all can't wait for more embarassing mid-race photos like the one above :D&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who has supported me (and James) when running the half marathon last summer, I <em>really </em>appreciated it :) So please, dig deep and throw a few pennies at this amazing charity I support :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Lots of love and wish me luck :D&nbsp;</p> <p>Lucy&nbsp;</p> <p>xxx&nbsp;</p>
