Finally, I am attempting my first ever marathon after years of various excuses ( dodgy knees, not enough time to train, dodgy knees ). The training has been hard ( would not be much of a test otherwise ) but the benefits to my mental wellbeing has been immense.

I am running for Bromley Community Counselling Service. They are a charity who provide counselling sessions at a minimal cost. They charge a pro rata rate linked to your earnings. It is an excellent service to provide help for those who need urgent assistance, which the NHS regrettably cannot meet, and who cannot afford the cost of the private sector.
