I am running the London Marathon in support of Rethink Mental Illness.

As a family, we have direct experience of a family member struggling with their mental health. Sadly, they were unable to share their feelings about their depression during their life and ultimately committed suicide. Better access to mental health services like those offered by Rethink Mental Illness may have made the difference.

Working in a school, I see the impact of mental illness on a daily basis with a third of students struggling and the effect this can have on their families.

I would love it if you could help me to support this amazing charity.
