I have teamed up with the fantastic Abi who runs Abi’s antidote to anxiety, a wonderful Facebook support group and also hypnotherapist, reiki and reflexology therapist. 

I find running helps me so much, not just with fitness and fitting into my clothes but to empty my mind and get some time for just me! For those that are close to me you know how I have struggled mentally since being a child and every day is a battle for me but I am still here and fighting! 

I always think of running events as totally selfish because running does make you feel so good even without raising money! 

If you would like to donate towards Leeds Minds charity to help people who are really struggling mentally that would be great. (If you have sponsored Kev for the great north run I will hunt you down as that is a walk in the park for him and this is a challenge for me- just saying)
