OK, things have gotten off to a flying start by using the wrong fundraising page. Fantastic.

Here is the real proper final page done correctly, one hopes. I have donated all the money received from the previous page and thank you so so much to everyone who has already donated!

Now we've got that cleared up, here's a bit about why I'm running for the charity Mind:

Fourteen years ago my mum committed suicide. It is something that completely shakes and devastates a family to its core and we never fully recover from it.

The charity "Mind" has helped me over the years as it does countless others. Hence why I am running the London Half Marathon this year on the 25th of March raising money for Mind in hope that it will continue to support people who are struggling with their mental health, or who feel that there is only one way out.

As someone who only normally runs because the pasty shop is closing soon, or there's a particularly cute dog across the street, I'm going to need all the support I can get! I will try to keep on top of updates on my progress in this thing called "training" - I have yet to discover what that means.

Thank you for your time, support and donations x
