Hello, I am Ollie 

In 2023, I will run 12 marathons - one each month - to raise awareness for MIND charity. An amazing charity which provides advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. 

In 2022, I set out on a personal challenge to complete 12 marathons in 12 months. The goal was achieved, however this didn't come without set backs and self doubt, it took real mental resilience to complete the challenge! Although it was a physical challenge the mental challenge was much harder than I expected. Towards the end of last year with only a few marathons left to complete, the personal goal I had for myself changed as I met and chatted to all types of people who were experiencing struggles in their lives. I knew that moving forward I wanted to raise awareness for mental health as although I had struggles during each race, people experience mental challenges everyday without the support networks in place to help them. I feel it is important that I raise awareness of MIND charity for those who need it during each Marathon this year and beyond.

Thank you!
