Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mental health issues are something that many of us and our loved ones will face at some point in our lives (probably about 1 in 4 directly, and more indirectly).

I'm passionate that people who face problems with their mental health are able to access treatment and support  - everyone should have someone they can talk to and no-one should have to face these kinds of problems alone.

Mind campaigns on behalf of people with mental health issues, and provides support and information through telephone helplines, publications and its website.

I'm going to run my first half marathon in Chesterfield on October 22nd 2017 to raise money in support of Mind and I hope you will sponsor my efforts.

This is going to be a significant challenge for me - I'm not a runner in any shape or form, and inherently have absolutely no stamina whatsoever.  So whether you want to encourage or just punish me, please give generously!
