Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m weirdly excited to be running the London marathon 2022! I’m delighted to be supporting mind Cymru and aim to raise £500. 

Ultimately, the aim is to finish the race in under 5 hours. A previous best is 5hrs 16mins (Munich 2016) so there’s a fair bit of training needed!

Just getting to the start line will be success in itself. When I was diagnosed with Depression and severe anxiety in May 2021, one of the many challenges I was faced with was simply not being able to get out for a run. The anxiety would be crippling and I remember sitting on the sofa, all my kit on just staring outside for over an hour, and NOT getting anywhere!

So whilst I would be over the moon to do a sub 5 hour marathon, just starting it will be success enough in many ways. 

Any support would be really appreciated!!!

Thank you all

Simon
