As part of my Great North Run training (more on that later) I'm taking part in the Sunderland City 10K on 12 May.

I'm keen to support The Samaritans and raise awareness around mental health, wellbeing and highlight the support that is out there for those who need it. Let's break down the stigma attached to mental health and if I can run a 10K on a (hopefully sunny) Sunday morning, then great!

Any money you can donate is greatly appreciated!
