Last year I ran 5km everyday in November, totalling over 150km, to raise money for Mind in memory of one of my great friends, Canaan O’Dell. Together we raised almost £1200 for a cause that is close to my heart - For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This year I’ve decided to yet again dust off the running trainers, however I’ve made the challenge harder. This year I’ll be running 200km throughout November which is an additional 45km compared to last year and almost 5 marathons to raise yet more money for Mind, in memory of Canaan.

Through losing a close friend, and also going through my own mental health journey, I can’t stress enough how important it is to seek help and to reach out to friends. I ask humbly, those able, to donate whatever you can to this amazing charity.
