Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and helping me raise money for MindOut. 

MindOut is a mental health service run by and for lesbians, gay men, bisexual, trans, and queer people. MindOut literally saves lives.

Having managed to avoid Jason's yearly requests that I run a marathon or half marathon for the last 7 years or so, I decided that 2017 was finally the year! 

Everyone that knows me knows I had a crazy & stressful few years which culminated in a huge victory at the end of 2016 that finally allows me to put some problems in the past, where they should be and where they will remain. I was lucky because I had a really solid network of family and friends to support me through my difficult periods, many people are not so fortunate and for those people, MindOut is a lifeline. 

As of writing this, I've ran 65km (40 miles) in the 2 months since I started training .. and I aim to get at least another 100km (62 miles) under my belt before the big day on 26th February. The Half Marathon itself is another 21.09km (13.1 miles) and I'm aiming for the 2 hour mark!!

Please sponsor me, even if it's just a pound. I have a big target to meet and as I said, MindOut saves lives, every penny helps.
