It feels pretty crazy writing this but I am running the Brighton Marathon  on the 7th of April 2024! I feel super excited and slightly terrified but I wanted to explain a bit about why I am running and why it would mean so much to me if you could support or donate to Mind.

I have struggled with my mental health for many years and it has always been something I've been nervous to share with people but I know it's something that so many of us have been affected by. The last two years have been extremely challenging for me and my family. Having to withdraw from university and not even being able to leave my house for months. The idea of running a marathon is pretty crazy.

However, running has become one of the most important things in my recovery and something I actually now love to do. Having never been much of a sporty person growing up, this is something I never thought I could do. 

I am running to raise money for Mind which is a mental health charity. Even if you can't give financially just sharing and supporting means so much to me! Thank you to everyone :)
