Hackney Half Marathon 2019 · 19 May 2019 ·
I have struggled with my own mental health for many years and running was one of the things that really helped me to get my life on track and give it and myself focus. The run also falls on the last day Mental Health Awareness Week hosted by the foundation, so it seemed fitting to run and raise for something that i strongly believe in with my brother who has also found running as a really positive step in coping with his own mental health issues. The foundation is all encompassing in its approach to tackling mental health issues. It is a problem that affects such a large proportion of people and is something that is also personal to us.
