Some years ago my younger brother Julian tragically took his own life at 27 after years of living with mental health problems. Mind, the mental health charity, provided Julian with a great deal of support and I am raising money to support the important work they do. I have previously raised £11,500 for Mind and am looking to raise a further £3,500 by running the London Marathon on 26 April.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mind - The Mental Health Charity gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.

All the best          Simon
