I'm doing the Yorkshire marathon for York Mind charity in four weeks time and I would HUGELY appreciate any sponsorship you may be able to give.

York Mind charity campaigns to raise awareness of mental health and combat the stigma surrounding mental health conditions. Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year.

I feel very lucky to have found running as it is truly the best 'medicine' for my mental health. I have been running for 4 years but this is my first ever marathon. I have been training for it on a 16 week plan and I have 4 weeks of training left to go. I have loved the last 12 week's of training. I am feeling mentally strong and physically fitter than ever (with a few niggles as would be expected!). This weekend I completed my longest run to date, it was 20 miles and I ran non stop for almost 3 and a half hours.

Mental health is something that is close to my heart... Together let's raise money to support others in their mental health journeys ♡♡♡
