I can’t believe I am writing this…. But I have been selected to run for MIND in the London Marathon 2025!!! 😱🥳

MIND are the charity I always dreamed to run for. I can’t believe they picked me.

This means so much to run for them after all the help I have had with my mental health over the years. Those closest to me know the journey I have been on with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. There have been times when I didn’t want to be here. There have been many lows and I honestly wouldn’t be where I am without so much support.

Charities like MIND are vital as mental health services are grossly underfunded. They rely on donations to keep the amazing support and work they do for others going. I want to raise as much money as possible for them as a thank you. It is also a huge dedication to my first therapist who helped me turn my life around and picked me off the floor when everything was dark. I will be forever grateful for her and inspired endlessly by her own strength & wisdom.

This is why mental health support is vital. It can save lives.

This is a huge challenge for me as I am NOT a long distance runner 🏃‍♀️ I am naturally a very fast sprinter so I am really going to have to work hard for this and in the process I will be raising funds for this amazing charity. The London marathon is such an iconic event and has been a bucket list challenge for me…. I just can’t believe it’s actually happening!

I don’t know how I will fit the training into my busy life but that’s the challenge and what I am prepared to do in order to achieve this!

I do have a target I have to reach so any donations big or small is HIGHLY appreciated.

All donations will inspire and motivate me to get out for a run.

I will be posting more about my training, progress and fundraising over the next 9 months so stay tuned and maybe some of you will come on a running journey with me. ♥️
