Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m running this marathon in memory of my Dad and my brother Markus, both of whom we lost following mental health struggles. Their loss changed our lives forever, but I continue to tell their story in the hope it helps others in some way.

Mental health is complex, personal, and doesn’t discriminate. What I’ve learned is how important it is to keep talking, to remember how loved you are, and to hold on to the truth that life is always worth living — even when your mind tells you otherwise.

This run is for them, for awareness, and for anyone who needs reminding that their story isn’t over.

Thank you for your support as always ❤️
