Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the last 15 years, as a teacher, I have seen some of the pressures that young people face and how alone that can make them feel.  The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on everyone's mental health but I see every day, both as a teacher but also as the town mayor in my local area, the effects that the pandemic and the associated school closures and remote learning have had on young people.  

I feel strongly that young people should be able to access the mental health support they need, when they need it and as such have supported Young Minds through my work in schools for many years and have also chosen Young Minds as my charity for my year as Mayor of Snaith and Cowick.

Young Minds are fighting for a safer, kinder world for young people where they can access the help they need when they need it.  To help them achieve this I have decided to dust off my running shoes and complete the Sheffield 10K.  Having not really run properly since having Covid-19  in December 2020 this is quite a challenge but I am determined!  I would really appreciate it if you were able to support my mission!
