***** OCTOBER 2020 UPDATE*****

Brighton Marathon 2021 has been moved from April to September 2021. I have made the decision to defer my place to April 2022. 

I am going to close this page for now as even though I haven’t ran Brighton I did run the Virtual London Marathon so have managed a marathon in 2020. 

Thank you to everyone for your support and generous donations. 

****SEPTEMBER 2020 UPDATE****

So I have managed to get a place in the virtual London marathon on the 4th October.

I have been training for 5 weeks and it's been hard going in the late summer heat and the strong winds. 

I hadn't planned to fundraise for this marathon but seeing posts on how charities are struggling financially and also how important mental health is right now whilst we're in the middle of a pandemic I want to do something for MIND. 

There is no time goal next weekend, and it is unlikely that I'll be running the full distance, but I am really looking forward to taking on those miles with one of my best friends, wearing my MIND vest and that VLM race number. 

***JUNE 2020 UPDATE***

Due to covid 19 and all the uncertainty I have deferred my Brighton Marathon place to 2021. 

I didn’t want to get weeks into a training plan to have it cancelled again so I made the decision to defer. I’ll keep the miles in my legs and work on strength so I can get my 2021 goal.  

****************************************************

So in 2019 I ran Brighton Marathon for Mind and I absolutely loved it. BUT there is so much I really don't remember about it so I knew that I needed to come back again in 2020 as I had unfinished business. 

I'm hugely passionate about mental health and MIND. Mental health issues can affect anyone at any time.  

You will be surrounded by people who are suffering, some will be open and tell you about it but others won't. Together we can all help each other.

If by running another marathon I can help raise money to support Mind so they can help more people then I'll continue to do so.
