This October, I'll be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Mind.

Mental health is important to all of us, and we’re understanding it’s significance now more than ever. I believe in the importance of talking about our struggles and seeking support from those close to us -which is why I’ve decided to run for Mind and support their mission to improve support for those suffering and increase the understanding and awareness of different mental health problems. 

I’m really looking forward to this challenge, and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone over the next 12 weeks training for this half marathon. Thank you to anyone in the position to donate! 

Here's what your donations can provide: 

£10 - helps the charity to campaign for better support services, talking therapy and crisis care for those who need it. 

£21 - helps the charity's supportive online community (Elefriends) run for one hour, giving people the chance to get hugely valuable peer support. 

£39 - allows the charity's Infoline call handlers to answer 5 phone calls, often in desperate need of support, to help them find the support they need and a way forward.
