Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2018 I began a challenge to run at least a mile a day in memory of Cancer victim & fellow runner Ben Ashworth, this raised awareness of bowel cancer and also vital funds.

I reached 263 days of consecutive running, at which point I endured struggles with my own mental health, including a brief hospital stay.

This ultimately ended the run streak and the challenge but in the end helped me gain a better understandIng of mental health - causes, symptoms, effects and treatment.

I am doing this to raise awareness and to bust the taboo on mental health. Let’s talk about it!!

Running and exercise are essential to my own mental health and although this challenge will be a bit harder than in 2018 (5k a day this time!) I am focused on completing the full 365 day challenge, starting 1st Jan’ 2026!!

Please support this worthy cause.
