Like many, I advocate that I am not a ‘runner’. I struggled with the 1500m at school and until recently I had never ran 5km. One ballot entry later...

On Sunday 28th April, I will be running the Virgin London Marathon for Mind- a charity close to family and friends.

Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. Mind offers information and advice to those (and their families) suffering, works to raise public awareness and eradicate the stigma surrounding mental health.

In the next few months I will be working every day at reaching my goal. Any donations, however small, will make a difference to the cause.
