Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running my first ever marathon. After 7 half marathons I thought it was about time! 

This will no doubt be a mental, as well as physical, challenge for me to get round to the finish line and raising some money for a worthwhile cause will help to give me more motivation. 

I want to raise money for Mind to help them with the work they do to support people experiencing a mental health problem. We all have mental health and all no doubt have experiences of poor mental health. Mind work across the UK to make sure there is information and advice available and to stop people suffering alone because no one should feel they can't talk about their mental health.
