I'm excited to be running the London Marathon - my first ever (possibly last? although I've loved the training so far....) marathon! I've chosen to support Mind, the mental health charity. Their work is critically important work now more than ever with huge increases in the need for mental health services during the pandemic. 

We have yet to reach the peak of the mental health crisis. The lasting effects of trauma and severe economic pressures will be keenly felt by millions – those working on the frontline, people who haven’t had an opportunity to grieve, those who have spent months alone and lonely, young people who had their support network taken away overnight.  Through campaigning for better mental health services, providing information for patients and families, running helplines, supporting well being initiatives, and improving awareness of mental health disorders, Mind are fighting for mental health.

I've been training for over 6 months to run the marathon which has been a lifelong ambition. Please consider sponsoring me to support this fantastic cause.
