I will be running the Race to the Stones 100km (non-stop) 2025. I'm laying down the gauntlet and predicting (and hoping) for a sub-14hr finish time.

How common are mental health problems?

1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind each year in England

Specific diagnoses (In any given week in England)

Mixed anxiety and depression: 8 in 100 people

Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD): 6 in 100 people

A person's diagnosis may change several times during their life. Some complex conditions are measured by how many people will be given this diagnosis over the course of their lifetime, or in any given year.

We all know someone who may have struggled with mental health and had tough times in one capacity or another. This is for them. If you’ve found yourself in need and have had assistance from the awesome team at Mind. This is for you!

I know for some, money may be tight, but so are my hamstrings and quads!
