Hi everyone,

This year I’m taking on a huge personal challenge - running The Birmingham 5k Winter Warmer Run in loving memory of my dad, Andrew Griffiths. I will be running Sunday 22nd February 2026.

Losing him has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced, and it has reminded me just how important mental health and wellbeing are — especially for young people who may be struggling in silence.

My dad’s memory lives on through The Andrew Griffiths Foundation, which was created in his honour, and I want to continue that legacy by supporting a cause that helps others through difficult times.

That’s why I’ve chosen to donate all proceeds from this marathon to YoungMinds Trust, the UK’s leading charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Driven by their experience, YoungMinds creates change so that children and young people can cope with life’s adversities, find help when needed, and succeed in life.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help support children and young people across the UK to get the mental health support they deserve.

Thank you so much for your support - it means more than I can put into words. ❤️

In loving memory of Andrew Griffiths. Rock on!
