Story
Let's run to each centre - it cant be that far!
We are raising money for Mind in Mid Herts by running to each of our 4 wellbeing centres across mid-Hertfordshire this Mental Health Awareness Week.
We aim to increase awareness of the charity and the services it provides, and get people talking about mental health.
The money raised will allow us to continue to strive towards our charity's vision:
We will work to ensure the mental health of everyone in Hertfordshire is supported and respected.
There are 6 of us running the Mind Marathon, and we all either work for, or are affiliated with, the charity.
The idea for this run was formed last autumn. An off-the-cuff remark of let's run to each centre it can't be that far was followed by a quick google map check: Stevenage --> Hertford --> Welwyn --> St Albans. 26.2 miles exactly a marathon. This was too convenient an opportunity to pass up.
We have chosen to do this run during Mental Health Awareness Week on 18th May. This week aims to tackle stigma, and help people understand and prioritise their and others' mental health. This aligns wonderfully with our own vision, so seemed like a perfect time for the event.
If you can possibly make a donation of any amount, that would be greatly appreciated. By doing so, you will be helping us to support the mental health needs of everyone in Hertfordshire.
Thank you so much,
Andre, Ash, Isaac, Matt, Patrick & Tommy
