Running is important for my mental and physical wellbeing so I want to use my London Marathon run this year to support a local North West Norfolk charity - 8:56 and its vital work supporting and improving men's mental health.

Having lost a friend who tragically took his own life, I want to raise money to support the charity’s Time To Talk groups, sport activities, and Men’s Time which encourage men to talk, reduce the risk of loneliness and isolation and highlight the importance of mental wellbeing. This is a community-based charity with no paid employees – just volunteers making a difference. £35 will help fund an invaluable talking therapy session.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
