Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page in aid of Mind - the mental health charity.

I've suffered from depression for many years. Thanks to my family, fiancée and - at long last - a unprejudiced GP, I'm now able to live as full a life as possible. I'm very lucky though; very few people with mental health issues have this support, and that is why Mind's advocacy and support is vital for the people who lack this support and understanding.

I've run six previous marathons, but I consider every marathon I complete as an affirmation of the fact I am now able to deal with the depression and anxiety that crippled me for many years in my teens and twenties.

Now for the standard promo stuff:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks
