Story

In 2019 I will be participating in a series of races, situated all throughout the UK to help raise awareness & tackle the stigma surrounding mental health, as well as to fundraise money in aid of Mind: the national mental health charity.

In the UK, men are three times more likely to commit suicide as opposed to women. As somebody who has battled with depression and my mental health for a number of years, as well as seen what a horrible disease it can be to those around you including loved ones, I have decided to tackle the stigma head-on. 

My challenge will see me travel the length & depth of the UK, taking me to areas such as London, Glasgow & Newcastle. The complete race list can be seen below.


My 2019 Race Calendar:

  • Run Newcastle Valentines 10k (17th February)
  • Surrey Half Marathon (10th March)
  • Sunderland City 10k (12th May)
  • Hackney Half Marathon (19th May)
  • Great North Run (8th September)
  • Great Scottish Run (29th September)
  • Kielder Half Marathon (13th October)
  • Newcastle MoRunning 10k (3rd November)

I have set myself an initial target of £500 & the fundraising campaign will come to an end on the 1st January 2020. Thanks for supporting my page & any donations that are made.
