Story

In 2 months I will be taking on my first ever marathon raising money for a charity called MIND. They are an amazing charity who do some great work with one of the worlds least talked about illness... Mental illness.

As a lot of you may already know this world lost an absolute gem of a friend in 2012. Ross Matthews! most people would have described him as the life n soul of the party.. Always laughing n smiling. Nobody was to know he would tragically take his own life.

If we can raise awareness of mental illness and save just one person by making people aware that it is an illness. The fact that 1 in 4 of us will experience mental health issues within the course of a year, and depression is the most common disorder in Britain really does show the scale of it.
