Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

As I sit and write this, I am faced with the harsh reality of what I am about to embark on. Precisely 199 days from today, I will be at the start line with over 40,000 people ready to take on the famous 26.2 mile "run" around London.

I don't claim to be a keen road runner (this is about to change as I embark on a grueling 20+ week training regime)but taking part in the London Marathon is something that I have always wanted to do. After three consecutive failed public ballot attempts I decided to explore the idea of a charity place and I am so grateful to Jami for accepting me onto their team. Mental Health is something that affects at least one in four of us and Jami are both leaders and innovators in this field. You only have to visit the Head Room Cafe in NW11 to see some of the amazing work that this charity does. This is such a great cause and I am honoured to be running on their behalf. 

Not only have Jami provided me with the opportunity to take part in what is probably the greatest race in the world but they are also allowing me to split my fundraising between Jami and The No Surrender Charitable Trust. These two brilliant causes are so deserving of support.

Jami

Jami provides essential mental health services to the Jewish community. Statistics show that 1 in 4 British adults experience a mental health problem each year, showing mental health touches us all. Jami's focus is recovery - whether that be visiting a Jami centre or finding work after time away.  Find out more by visiting www.jamiuk.org

The No Surrender Charitable Trust

For those that know me, you may already know about No Surrender. For those that don't, here is a brief overview of the work that they do.
