Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Bristol Half Marathon on May 14th 2023 to raise money for 2 charities, MIND and Headway Bristol.  (Please visit my Headway Bristol team page to donate to this charity - I am hoping to raise at least £500 for each charity.)

I am running in memory of my brother, Jeremy, who died suddenly in November. He was a talented athlete and cyclist, having represented Wales at Duathlon.  As for me, I last ran a half marathon as a teenager - I know my brother would be proud (and a little shocked) at my efforts to train for this event, and if circumstances were different he would be standing next to me on the starting line.  

1 in 4 people in the UK suffer with mental illness.  MIND is working to make mental health an everyday priority.  Thank you for supporting my efforts to raise money for this charity, as well as Headway Bristol.
