London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021 · 1 August 2021 ·
This year, I'll be lacing up my trainers and taking on the challenge of running a half marathon. To motivate me to give it my all, I've decided to simultaneously raise awareness (and money) for mental health charity, Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest. In any given year, mental health problems will affect one in four people in the UK, responsible for the largest burden of disease in the country affecting 28% of the population. Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest offer a range of support and services to members of the community who are struggling daily with their mental health. Just £25 could pay for a low-income client with serious enduring mental health issues to attend a Managing Anger and Difficult Emotions group.
You maybe wondering why Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest but after the year we had and still having, any contribution for Mind can help so many people. They are a great charity and they are close to my heart as I also suffer with mental health problems which isn’t easy to admit too! please help me help them!!
💚Grateful for any donations great or small 💚
