Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I started out on this marathon journey back in October 2015 having had a significant break from distance running. My initial motivation was to prove to myself... and the rest of the world... that I could complete another marathon before I reached 50! However, as the months and the training have passed, I have found myself thinking less about my own vanity in chasing goals and glory and more about how I could use this event to raise money and awareness for a charity that I believe provides a vital service and support to people who are experiencing difficulties with mental health; difficulties that any one of us could be affected by. The volunteers that offer their time and expertise to the charity are rarely recognised but provide a lifeline to those who are in need. The money that I hope to raise will contribute towards this incredible service.

Thank you! x
