Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mental heath issues are an ever increasing commonality and due to the year long lockdown brought on by the global pandemic, people are struggling more than ever. 

That is why I have decided to fundraise for local mental health charity Sunderland Mind, by running the Kielder Marathon on October 3rd 2021.

Sunderland Mind are an independent charity ran by local people for local people providing confidential, high-quality services for individuals, carers and families experiencing emotional or mental health problems.

With the demand for mental health provision on the rise, I'm hoping to raise as much money as possible to help this independent charity continue to deliver the vital services they do for the residents of Sunderland. Any donation, no matter the size, would be greatly appreciated and help me to achieve this goal for a very deserving cause.

I'll be posting regular updates of my training on this page, so stayed tuned to see how I'm getting on in preparing my body to run the gruelling 26mile course. It's a daunting distance and will no doubt take a huge effort, but the pain will all be worth it if I can help support this amazing charity.

Thanks for your support!
