On April 22nd 2018, Chloe Pugh-Life, Aaron Pugh and Madeleine Freed will be running the Virgin London Marathon for YoungMinds, in memory of Chloe and Aaron's baby brother Marcus Pugh.

Losing Marcus has made us value the importance of the work YoungMinds does. Today, anxiety and depression can be seen as a taboo subject and unfortunately if ignored can have devastating consequences. We want to raise as much money and awareness as possible. We also want to help those young people who are struggling or who are feeling alone. We want them to realise that there is help out there for them and YoungMinds is a fantastic charity which strives to support the delicate minds of young people.

The 22nd of April 2018, the day of the marathon is made even more special for us as it takes place on what would have been Marcus' 21st birthday. Which certainly makes what we are doing all the more poignant. As we are taking on this challenge together, we have decided that a joint JustGiving page would be best. So please dig deep and support the three of us in raising as much as we can for such an amazing charity which will forever lie very close to our hearts. Wish us luck, it is going to be one big challenge but for one important person.

This is for you Marcus x
