Story

Thanks for visiting this page. I know, people are always doing something and asking for donations, so I appreciate you coming to take a look and even making it this far.

So yes, on Sunday 10th October 2021, I'll be running the Brighton Half Marathon and raising money for MIND UK along the way. It started off as a plan with a few friends. In lockdown, we were missing some form of structure and routine, so arranged virtual runs to make exercise somehow more social, even in isolation. 

Signing up for the Brighton Half gave us a target to work towards, and motivation to keep the routine going - even though there are plenty of times we just don't feel like it, let's be honest. And, if we're running anyway, we might as well turn it into an even greater positive and raise money for charity... and given the impact of the last year on mental health, MIND UK is a brilliant cause to raise money for! 

I'm aiming for £1310 as a target. £100 for ever mile...

Now the helpful bit from JustGiving:

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

But yes, whether you're here just to donate or see how things are coming along, I really appreciate you visiting. If you're able to donate, that's great. If you're not able to donate, that's great too - just spread the word :)

Big love, and thanks again for clicking!
