My brother was simply amazing. I  am so thankful to have been able to share the blessing of Jeremy’s life with everyone. He had an energy that could light up dull room with just a smile and a laugh. Unfortunately,  my brother was struggling with his mental health for a long time.

Since his passing, I have wanted to do something in his memory that would honor the person he was and raise awareness for mental health. That's why I have decided to participate in the Great Manchester 10k run with the charity Mind.

Mind is a UK charity that provides support and advice for those struggling with their mental health. By running for Mind, I hope to raise funds for the organization and help them continue their important work.

Running the Great Manchester 10k is not going to be easy, but I am excited to do it. I will be pushing myself out of my comfort zone and dedicating my  effort to my brother and to all those who are currently battling their own mental health issues.

I want to show others that it's okay to not be okay, and that there is always help available. By raising awareness and funds for Mind, I hope to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

My mum and I will be running in memory of my beloved brother Jeremy, and for all those who have lost their battle.. I know he would be proud of me for taking on this challenge and doing my part to help others.

This  run may just be a small step, but I hope it will inspire others to take their own small steps towards breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and making a positive difference in the world
