Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to complete a marathon for Mind. It’s no secret that I’ve struggled with my mental health - I have bipolar, anxiety and OCD and have been hospitalised several times. When I’ve been at my worst, Mind has helped me no end - their website and resources has made me feel less alone, and I’d love to give something back.

Being honest, my fitness is nowhere near what it used to be. I run between 5 and 11k a couple of times a week, but haven’t gone further than that in a long time. So this is going to be a big challenge. I imagine I’ll have to walk (or crawl) quite a bit but, however I do it, I’m determined to complete it!

I’m going to start it with a parkrun (which means I’ll have completed every parkrun this year!) and then, after scanning my barcode, will do laps of the park until my marathon is complete.
