Over the last 12 months I have deprived, loved, criticised and now learning to respect my body.  Whilst on my journey to achieve the best physical health, my mental health was impacted. Through out my fitness journey i have pushed my body from one extreme to another resulting in a vicious cycle of binge eating and misusing laxitives to deal with the anxiety and guilt. Since October I have worked hard to re gain control and although i have seen results I'm proud of physically, for me the biggest transformation has been my mentality.  I want to use the time and energy I have spent worrying about food, calories and my weight to do something to help others.

This winter is going to be tougher than many we’ve faced before. Since the pandemic began, depression rates have doubled, record numbers of people are in crisis and there is a serious mental health emergency. Running 10 km everyday for 30 days is simply mind over matter, just one small way i can help raise awareness to support MIND in ensuring no one faces a mental health problem alone.

We all need each other now more than ever, so please donate whatever you can to help make sure no one suffers in silence.
