On 7th September 2025, I will be participating in the AJ Bell Great North Run, the world's most iconic half marathon to champion better mental health across Teesside.

Last year Teesside Mind supported nearly 27,000 local people in managing their mental health and emotional well-being.

They couldn't continue to do what they do without the amazing support of their Great North Run team. With each pound they raise, and every conversation they have, they'll be making a difference for better for mental health in Teesside, ensuring that every local person has somewhere to turn to for support and advice.

Please do donate where you are able, and even if you are not, please pass the message around our friends for their support, it would mean so much to be able to support such an amazing charity in the part of the country that means the most to me.
