This year I’m pushing myself even further in my running by taking on my first ever half-marathon! I’ll be taking part in the Coventry Half on the 28th April, and whilst I’m doing this to challenge myself I’d absolutely love to raise some money too.

I’ve chosen Coventry and Warwickshire Mind as the charity I’d like to support. Here’s what they have to say about how your donations can help - ‘by raising money for us, you'll help more people with mental health problems get the support they need and the respect they deserve, and that's a very big deal. So, thank you.

We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We're here for the local community. Today. Now. We're on your doorstep, on the end of the phone, or online. Whether you're stressed, depressed, or in crisis, we will listen, give you support and advice, and fight in your corner.

We're an independent charity. We rely on individual donations and fundraising to support as many people as possible in Coventry and Warwickshire.’

I know times are tough for everyone but if you can spare some money to support a vital local charity I’d be so grateful. Thank you all for your support and encouragement!
