Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In late 2012, I took up running with a couch-to-5k programme after having my second child.  As well as the physical recovery from pregnancy and childbirth, I was also unexpectedly suffering from post-natal depression, which I hadn't had with my first child. Running has improved my physical health, and I've enjoyed it much more than I expected, but the real gift has been how much it has helped my mental health too.

The Cambridge Boundary Run is a half- or full-marathon route around Cambridge, where I live and work.  It will be my first half-marathon and I want to mark it by raising money and awareness for mental health.

Mind in Cambridgeshire campaigns and provides services so that no-one has to face a mental health problem alone.  The money raised here will help them keep up that vital work.
