Firstly, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. After years of running and a few halfs I've finally taken the plunge and decided to give the full Marathon distance a go! 

To motivate me as I enter the last couple of months of training I have decided to use this opportunity to raise money for YoungMinds. They are an incredible charity that is committed to improving the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people, as well as providing support for their parents and families so that they might better understand what they are going through.  

Every child and young person battling a mental health problem deserves a support system and a chance to grow up without  the stigma that still surrounds mental health today. By continuing to talk about it and donating to charities like YoungMinds we are on our way to empowering younger generations to be a force for change.

Any donation, no matter how small is greatly appreciated and I hope to see a few of you out on the course on Sunday 22nd April. A few familiar faces will definitely make those 26.2 miles go a little quicker! 

Thanks again,

Sam xx
