Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As somebody who experiences mental illness on a daily basis, I have found passion and meaning in running, leading me to seek out new challenges and adventures that include it. The positive results from exercise towards improving mental health are amazing, and something I'm glad and grateful I can experience. Many people I know from friends to family are also familiar with and experience the challenges of mental health, so anything I can do to raise awareness is a bonus.
The David Goggins' 4x4x48 challenge consists of running 4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours. This will definitely be a great way to discover my limits and push my mind and body to new heights.
I have decided to fundraise for one of the UKs most important Mental Health Charities, 'Mind'. Mental health is already a difficult and misunderstood corner of life for many people all over the world and is now especially under-pressure by the pandemic and social measures put in place because of it. The more we can do to support and help those in need, raise awareness and learn more about the conditions many experience the better!
Thank you.
