Hackney Half Marathon 2025 · 18 May 2025 ·

Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest's team of runners are taking to the streets of East London to raise vital funds for mental health services in our communites!

Story

I’m running the Hackney Half for Mind (and I’m not a runner!), along with Holly, Harry and John.

This is going to be a huge challenge for me, but one I’m excited to take on. I’ve struggled with my mental health in the past, like 1 in 4 of us do every year, and I’ve seen people I love go through it too.

Mental health still isn’t talked about as openly as it should be. It deserves the same care, attention and normalisation as physical health - and that’s why I’m supporting Mind. They do incredible work to make sure no one has to face mental health problems alone.

If you can spare anything to support me (and them!), it would mean the world 💙

Thanks so much.
