On the 8th September 2019 I’ll be running 13.1 miles in the Great North Run for OCD Action.

OCD Action is the national charity focusing on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Help the 1-2% (myself included) of the population affected by OCD.

A bit about OCD:

One of the greatest challenges that people with OCD face is the need to fight both the all pervasive stigma of mental health disorders and the widely held belief that OCD is a mild or even "quirky" problem that is nothing more than hand washing. Many people now use the term "a bit OCD-ish" without understanding the onerous nature of the disorder in its severe form. 

OCD Action’s vision is for a society where OCD is better understood and diagnosed quickly - It’s Time to Act.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
