Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mental Health is critically important. When someone you love is suffering, it's effects can be devastating, far reaching and long lasting. This is something that we, as a family, have experienced over the past 18 months.

When the pain hits during the race, it will be nothing compared to what people I love have gone through and experienced and so I am running the Manchester Marathon on Sunday 27th April for Mind who are a charity who support in this area.

Last year my youngest daughter went to an inpatient unit for 4 months after struggling with her mental health. She had struggled for the majority of her teenage years. She said "every single person goes through something at some point in their life that no one knows about" and I completely agree. It is for her and everyone else who understands and has experienced this, that I willl have in my mind as I run on Sunday so...

I would be extremely grateful if you could spare a few pennies for this charity.

Thank you.
