What is the challenge?

I will be running 12 half marathons in 12 months in 2025 to raise money for Chasing the Stigma. This challenge will push me and test my recovery, resilience and mental strength. I am looking to raise £2000. I am so appreciative of any donation and support you can give this amazing charity.

About Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise conversations about mental health, whilst ensuring that everyone in the UK can access clear pathways to support, whenever and wherever they need it.

Chasing the Stigma strive to achieve this through the provision of pioneering training services, awareness-raising campaigns and lobbying activities whilst also operating the UK’s largest and most comprehensive directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope. The Hub of Hope currently lists over 14,500 organisations and is expanding daily. It’s a free app and website that connects users to the nearest relevant local support by using their postcode or location
