Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
I’m incredibly lucky to have been given a place running for Mind at the 2027 London Marathon on Saturday 24 April.
So, what does Mind do? Mind is a mental health charity that offers support through its helpline when you feel you have nobody else to turn to, and through Local Minds, which provide services such as counselling, therapy and befriending.
Mental health is talked about much more openly these days, but there’s still some stigma around it, we need to continue to make talking accessable and normalised.
As many of my friends know, I love a challenge. I haven’t done a great deal of running since completing my first marathon in 2022, and I’ve since gained a hefty 15kg—so this one is going to be tough! Be prepared for lots of Strava updates.
I’ve got plenty of fundraising ideas, from a work cake sale to “robogenning” myself—IYKYK.
For now, if you can share my page or support my fundraising, I’d really appreciate it.
I can guarantee you two things: I’ll give it 110%, and I’ll be wearing some incredibly small shorts.
Don’t forget to talk to your friends and family, and to reach out to Mind for help. You’re not alone.
