Hi there everyone,

I will be running the Brighton Marathon on April 2nd to raise money for MIND. It's a charity particularly close to my heart and it helps support people struggling with mental health illnesses across the UK.

Mental illness is an incredibly personal and solitary struggle by nature. However with the help of family, friends and initiatives like MIND, the burden can be shared and full recovery can become a reality.

I have personally had many struggles over the last 4 years with my mental health. A recent hospitalisation, after 2 years of being healthy, happy and largely positive, came as a big surprise and has knocked my inner confidence.

I'm hoping Marathon training and broader physical fitness will give me something to focus on and aid in my recovery. 

Please do support this page and any donation would be much appreciated. 

Cheers,

Max
