Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Please note, due to Coronavirus, this race is now cancelled however I will still be running solo in my area to support this incredible charity! Do you think you can help?

Today, stress and worry are ever present and young adults, the future generation, need all the help they can get in order to develop the skills to better face the challenges of the future. Mental health is so personal, so intricate, and helping children of all ages develop a tool kit for self-soothing is of vital importance for a successful, full-filled life.

My personal experience, having come to meditation and mindfulness late in life, is that had mental health been given as much importance at school as other subjects, my life would have been dramatically improved for the better. Children's brains are optimally wired for learning, therefore it is at school they have the best chance of developing habits that stick; let these habits be absolutely positive. Every mind matters, and a mind that helps itself is a prerequisite in order for it to be able to help others.

For this reason, please sponsor me to run the ASICS London 10k on July 5th in aid of "MiSP". Their work is absolutely vital, helping to bring mindfulness and mental well-being tools to pupils and their teachers around the UK. I have run 10 kilometres many times, I've even run the London 10k before, however nothing compares to the knowledge I will be clocking kilometres in order to help bring the wonderful skill of mindfulness and the importance of mental health to schools around the UK at the time where everyone needs all the help they can get to stay happy, healthy, thriving.
