Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am raising money for Mind because supporting mental health is really important to me. Although I have been lucky enough to have never suffered severely from mental health. I have a number of friends and family who are not so lucky and have had enormous challenges throughout their lives battling the effects of mental health. I have seen first hand the effects it can have on someone's live, aswell as the family and friends around them. 

I have chosen to do the Manchester half marathon because running has become a big part of my life. Around 2 years ago my lung collapsed and as a result I became very inactive, and began to live an unhelathly life style. However, a friend introduced me to running and I began to challenge myself again. I set goals and I pushed through them I have lost weight both in mind and body and I now challenge myself to complete the Manchester Half Marathon.
