Hello and Welcome.

My name is Damian known as Yogi"

I am a Full-time Bus Driver, Driver Instructor, and Marathon Runner.

Running is part of my life and I cannot imagine myself without running.

This year I am running 2 Marathons which I qualified for 'Good for Age', which is going to be crazy because I am running 2 Marathons in 1 Week.

Boston Marathon followed by the London Marathon.

This year I would like to challenge myself in the London Marathon.

I used to struggle massively with Mental Health but managed to overcome the pain, learn how to control it, and how to move forward. When I started being active once again and I started running, then my life started to change in a totally different dimension. The power of running helped me in my life. I started running in 2016 and I ran as my hobby, to clear my head, to go out and be myself enjoy the scenery, and to look after myself. Eventually, decided to take running more seriously and now I am training to eventually run Sub 2:40 in Marathon. I would like to run for Charity Eden Mind in Cumbria, to raise money and awareness that people are not on their own, that we all struggle we mental health, and that it's okay to talk about it, and together we can find a path to overcome that. I would like to prove that as a driver who struggled with mental health can run a full marathon. To make it even more challenging I will be running in my work uniform (bus driver uniform). I will be wearing the same uniform as I wear on my daily basis work.

So not only running 2 marathons in 1 week but also I will be running my 2nd Marathon (London) in a bus driver uniform.

In this case, I would like to ask for any support or any donation. If you could share this with family and friends and share it on your social media that would be amazing. All the difficult work and leave it to me. I will make sure that I put on a good show in the London Marathon especially knowing how supportive you all are! Thank you in advance. Big Love from Yogi.
