My name is Serg and I have been part of our church for just over 3 years. Before I joined, I struggled with mental health problems and substance abuse to the extent, that for 7 years I had a dependency on drugs and alcohol. I felt hopeless and my life didn't have any meaning. The church has helped me overcome trauma from my childhood and has given me a sense of purpose in my life.

Now that I work for the church as an intern, I have the opportunity to reach out to people who struggle with mental health problems. Having overcome addiction myself, I am able to mentor and support young individuals going through similar challenges.

I am fundraising by running the half marathon because I strongly believe in the work this charity is doing, transforming peoples lives in Edinburgh!
