Story

I have decided to run a marathon in aid of the Sam West Foundation. This charity is very close to my heart and its main objectives are "to promote awareness, diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues affecting children, young adults and their families. To advance the education of teenagers in music and the art": 

The Sam West Foundation | Promoting Awareness of Mental Health Issues

Mental health is something that affects all of us, especially young people, and if not talked about or treated the results can be fatal. Recently more tragic news has come regarding students of Cranbrook School, people who are part of our lives are struggling, and I believe this charity can give the mental health support to make a difference.

Thanks very much, please read, donate and share!!!
