Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Here’s a bit of my story…

Alongside many other people, I have struggled quite significantly with my mental health. Each day can be a huge battle in itself and often leaves you completely exhausted.

Over time I have learnt a lot about myself and what keeps me well. Running in particular has had such a positive impact on my mental health and that’s why I am running the great north run to raise money for mind. The feeling of stepping out the door, putting 1 foot in front of the other and just running is amazing to me. It’s a time to feel free. 

Mind are a charity that provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. Mind have some great resources that I have personally found very useful, so I thought it would make sense for me to give something back in return by raising money. 

Thank you, and I’m sending lots of love to anyone who may be struggling with their mental health ❤️
