Here I am embarking on my very own mental challenge. I must be utterly mental to think as someone who usually sits down for work and sits down through exhaustion after work that I can actually run at all! But I’m up at sunrise and I’m in the gym after work to give it a shot! Believing in the work this charity does why not!

At State of Mind Sport, we believe in the transformative power of sport to uplift and unite individuals. Our mission is to raise awareness about mental health and enhance the mental fitness of our communities, ultimately working towards the prevention of suicide.

As we prepare for the London Marathon on April 26, 2026, we are reminded of the countless individuals who struggle silently with their mental health. Every step taken during this marathon represents a stride towards breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues. It is a call to action for all of us to advocate for those who may feel alone in their battles.

We invite you to join us in this vital cause by supporting our fundraising efforts. Our target is to raise £1,500, which will directly contribute to programs that promote mental well-being through sport. Together, we can create a ripple effect of hope and resilience in our communities. Your support can make a difference—let's run together towards a brighter future.
