Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running a half marathon in honour of my Dad, who passed away in November 2016 after a long battle with alcoholism. Addiction feeds itself from depression and loneliness, which is why I have chosen Mental Health Research UK as the charity I would like to raise money for. 

Mental Health, particularly amongst men, isn't discussed enough, so I would like to do this to raise money and awareness for the cause. I want to help shift the perception that addiction is a choice. 

I'm also doing this because it's something my Dad would be proud of.

Donations of any value would be massively appreciated
