In June this year, I have decided to run the Hackney half marathon in honour of my mum and her on-going battle with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia. This unspeakable illness has been her life for over thirty years and I have decided that this is the year a change needs to occur. My aim is to raise 800 pounds, the cost of "The Thrive Programme" an extremely successful form of treatment that I would love for my mum to receive.

WHAT IS THRIVE???

The Thrive Programme is a totally fresh approach to achieving lasting happiness, health and success. Almost every issue or problem that a person can suffer from, is driven by psychological and/or emotional forces. Our programme teaches you how to manage your thoughts, emotions and beliefs so you can be in control of your life.

No matter who you are, where you are from or what your past is, everyone has the ability to realise potential and live life to the fullest. Anxiety, low confidence and underachieving will become a thing of the past, permanently replaced with a desire and capability to thrive.

The Thrive Programme is suitable for all and if you feel that life is merely ticking over for you, The Thrive Programme will enable you to master the skills and resources you need so that you won't get anxious, stressed or depressed - whatever bumps in the road you encounter. If however, you are already suffering from depression or other mental health concerns (e.g. phobias, anxiety, stress, eating disorders, confidence issues, weight problems, social anxiety), The Thrive Programme is a quick, effective way to overcome these for good, even if you have found other forms of therapy or treatment to be ineffective for you.

The Thrive Programme enables anyone to feel confident, enthusiastic and optimistic about their life.

More than anything, I want to be able to turn my mums life around and I truly believe this is a massive step in the right direction. ALL of this will be done as a surprise for my mum, (she does not have social media and I will be informing her a lot nearer the time). I am training five times a week and have already begun this. It would mean the world to me if even 50p was donated, EVERY penny is closer to my mum's new way of life.

THANK YOU. x
