Hi my name is Stuart Merrington and on Sunday 7th April I will be taking part in my first marathon in Manchester. I am running for Waddington Street Centre a fantastic local mental health charity in Durham city centre, a place where people can go to talk and feel safe.
Most of my adult life I have battled with depression and anxiety, using therapy and medication to help control my mood and thoughts. 2 years ago during one of my low episodes I decided to give running ago, hoping it would help clear my mind and help boost my mood, starting off just with the odd mile and gradually building up to running on a regular basis 10-12 mile. Running a marathon is a challenge I have set myself, something I want to achieve for me, running for Waddington Centre is a way of me giving back to our local community, and a charity
that relies heavily on donations. Thanks, Stuart
