Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running Brighton Marathon to raise money for Mind, the mental health charity, so those in need can access more support. 

This fundraising is in loving memory of Coral Crouch, and for the many friends and family I have who have also suffered with mental health problems. Coral was a wonderful friend who I knew from my very early days of school and beyond, she was always supportive of everyone and she had the brightest smile. She is so dearly missed by all she knew.

I am currently at half marathon fitness within my training plan, and knowing that I am training for such a good cause is what is pushing my out the door in all conditions. For me, running is also a good way to support my own mental health as it provides me with the headspace I need in order to relax and be in the moment.

I would appreciate anything that you are able to offer, whether that is through donations, suggestions for training, links to running playlists or company through the summer on parts of my longer runs!
