This year, I’m taking on the Oxford Half Marathon, not just as a personal challenge but to support a cause close to my heart: mental health. As someone born in Oxford and a lifelong Oxford United supporter, I’m proud to give back to my local community by raising money for Oxfordshire Mind, a charity doing incredible work for people facing mental health challenges.

Mental health affects us all, whether directly or through someone we care about. Oxfordshire Mind provides vital services, from crisis support to counselling, advice, and advocacy. They also work tirelessly to reduce the stigma around mental health, helping people feel less alone and more empowered to seek help.

You can track my progress on my strava in which I am hoping to be running the half marathon in a sub 2 hour time.

By running the Oxford Half, I hope to support their mission of ensuring no one has to face a mental health problem alone. Every donation, big or small, will help make a real difference.

Thank you for your support!
