If you know me, you will know I struggle with my mental health massively. I ran the great north run last year and raised just over £200 for samaritans (That approximately funded 40 phone calls.) I'm hoping to raise more this year. Last year I did it dressed as stitch also carrying stitch. This year will also be fancy dress - unsure what yet though - suggestions are welcome!

I also did no training last year and managed to do the great north run in 2 hours 55 minutes. I'm hoping to beat it this year since I have time to do training.

Did you know every £5 donated has the power to answer a potentially life-saving call.

1 in 4 people suffer with mental health problems in the UK. There are also 18 suicides a day. 1 in 14 people self harm. A massive 140,000 people attempt suicide every year in the UK with this number rapidly increasing. Suicide is one of the leading causes of teen deaths.
