We normalise + humanise conversations to eradicate the stigma of mental health

Story

So I've signed up to complete the London Marathon - with 5 weeks notice! The last person you would expect right?!

Disclaimers - its virtual, so I'm not actually running in London. And its 'your race, your way' - we have 24 hours to complete the 26.2 miles - I'm planning a maximum of 4 outings throughout the day and to get the mileage done!

This is the only way I would ever complete a marathon and if you don't try, you don't know what you can achieve! It all starts with having a goal.

As most of you know, mental health is close to my heart and I chose this charity as they are not just about giving support to those in need, but working to change the stigma and perceptions around mental health.

Thanks for your support - and yes - evidence can be provided :-)
