Am I a runner, absolutely not... 

Has my mental health ever suffered, yes.

So of all things I have chosen to enter the London Marathon this year! On October 2nd I'll be running on behalf of Mind, which is a fantastic organisation and one that I'd be delighted if you can help me to support.

It can be really hard to acknowledge and share how you're feeling at times, I know this from personal experience but also from friends and family that I hold dearly. Sometimes people are able to find strength from within and sometimes we need a little help along the way. 

So if winding my daddy long legs up and taking on this challenge helps to provide even just a little support to someone who needs it, then that's absolutely worth the effort.

Perhaps you have suffered with your own mental health or know somebody that has or does, either way a little support goes a LONG way.

I'm lucky enough to have received a charity entry and will be proudly fundraising along the way, please spare whatever donation you can and I promise to keep putting one long leg in front of the other on your behalf (having never entered a running event before... for 26.2 miles no less!).

Until then, a BIG thank you for visiting my JustGiving page, I really appreciate your support and will carry it with me every step of the way.

Jon
