1 in 8 children today have a diagnosable mental health problem. 50% of people with lifetime mental health problems first experience symptoms by the age 14.Rates of depression and anxiety among teenagers have increased by 70% in the past 25 years.This is why Place2Be's work in schools throughout the UK is so important. I'm supporting mental health because it's a cause that means a lot to me. I would be so grateful for any support you're able to give - together we can make a real and positive difference to children's mental health.

I'm proudly joining Team Citi running the Royal Parks Half marathon for this super important cause! To raise support and awareness for metal health amongst the future generation.

As part of my warm up i will be running CPH Half 15. september, 31k Challenge in Paris on 21/22. september - hmmmm yes do sound like a lot - but a shot not taken is a missed opportunity!

Godspeed
