Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running the 2021 Brighton Marathon on September 12th for Mind. Choosing a charity to fundraise for was exceptionally easy for me as Mind is so close to my heart. 

For as long as I can remember, anxiety has taken the lead when it comes to social events, work, getting up in the morning, or even looking in the mirror. At times it felt like I couldn't speak up at risk of not being a 'man' and people not understanding. Through the support I am giving to Mind, I want people to know that you are never alone and there are services exist to help you.

2020-21 and lockdown has been the most difficult time for me and only since I have been able to access services similar to those that Mind provides have I found my way out of an exceptionally dark place. Any money that you can donate will hopefully help someone out of the hole that I found myself in and help them get back on solid ground.

I am not just running this marathon for myself but for my friends, my family, and anyone that has struggled with mental health in their life. Any donations are much appreciated!
