Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Over the past ten years I've experienced first hand the near impossibility of accessing mental health provision through the NHS. 

So this year I've chosen to raise money for the Jonathan Upshall Foundation, a local charity providing grants to unemployed and underemployed people who wouldn't otherwise be able to access private psychotherapy and counselling.

Originally I was going  to do the GNR, but my dad passed away in August and I was unable to train properly. So instead I’ll be running  the Jarrow 10K and aiming for my first sub 50 mins. 

Every penny counts, and I’d be incredibly grateful for any donation, no matter how big or small. But I understand we’re living in very difficult times, so if you can’t donate, please help spread this page.

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.
