Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

Poor mental health affects one in four people in the UK. I see the impacts of this on friends, colleagues at work and I've also had first-hand experience within my own extended family. Ten years ago my cousin, Mark, took his own life, leaving his partner and three children. Mark had suffered from anxiety and depression since he was a teenager. 

Having finally secured a place in the London Marathon, I want to use my place (it's a 1 in a 100 shot through the ballot) to raise a little money to make a difference. 

This is my sixth marathon - but the first I've raised money for - so if you could dig a little to provide that added inspiration I'd appreciate it hugely.
