On Sunday 15th October I'll be running the Great South Run, 10 miles around Portsmouth to raise money for Tonic - Music for Mental Health.

Tonic is a charity that is very close to my heart and I've been privileged to raise money for over the last 6 years in various ways.

If you can spare even £5 it'll be going to an excellent cause (see below).

Tonic Music for Mental Health is a charity based on the south coast of England. Our mission is to raise mental health awareness, challenge stigma and promote mental wellbeing through music and the arts. We strive for a world where people suffering from mental illness are no longer marginalised – an inclusive and just world, where people suffering from mental illness have the hope, support and respect they deserve. We believe that participation in music and the arts can promote and sustain the mental wellbeing of everyone involved.
