Story

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!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. 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.
