Hi everyone, thanks for visiting my JustGiving page!

On October 12 , I'll be lacing up my running shoes and taking on the challenge of a half marathon. This is a big personal goal for me because I've never run this far before!

I'm running to raise vital funds for Anna Freud, a truly incredible charity dedicated to improving the mental health and wellbeing of children, young people, and their families.

Anna Freud works tirelessly to:

* Pioneer research to better understand and address youth mental health challenges.

* Provide life-changing clinical services and support for children and families.  

* Train professionals and families to create a network of support around young people.  

* Develop and share best practices to ensure children receive the right help at the right time.

Their vision is a world where all children and young people can achieve their full potential, and I'm passionate about helping them make this a reality. Mental health support for young people has never been more crucial, and Anna Freud is at forefront of making a real difference.

Your generous donation, no matter the size, will go directly towards supporting Anna Freud's essential work.

Please consider making a donation and sharing my page with anyone you think might be interested. Every bit of support will give me a huge boost as I train and on race day!

Thank you so much for your generosity.

You can follow my training progress on here, Strava or Garmin and laugh at my unbelievably slow pace :-)

Wish me luck!

Luke
