Katie's Marathon and Ultra Marathon for Mental health

Katie Mills is raising money for Platfform

ABP Newport Marathon Festival 2025 · 13 April 2025 ·

Platfform is the mental health and social change charity. (We were formerly known as Gofal). We work with people who are experiencing challenges with their mental health, and with communities who want to create a greater sense of connection, ownership and wellbeing in the places that they live.

Story

I manage an out of hours crisis service that offers face to face support 7 days a week, 365 days a year between 5pm-1am. We offer non-clinical emotional support and a therapeutic alternative to A&E. Being able to offer a safe space for those who are struggling is amazing, but we face one barrier when it comes to transport into the sanctuary.

Due to lack of public transport out of hours, people struggling financially, unable to drive or get a lift in, getting to the service is a struggle. After raising money last year we were able to offer more people financial support for ubers, taxis etc to access the service. We have seen a huge increase in visits because of this and more people getting the help they need ❤️ So this year I thought I'd do it all over again! First is the Newport marathon on the 13th of April. I've also signed up to take part in the Gower peninsula ultra marathon on July the 19th! Any donations will be hugely appreciated 🫶 This will be my second marathon but my first 50km ultra...Wish me luck...thank you!
