I am running the Cambridge Half Marathon in March, raising money for Mind.

Watching a close family member suffer with poor mental health over the last few years, which culminated in being sectioned, has opened my eyes to the challenges many people are facing. Having spent the last few months visiting him in hospital I have seen the positive impact mental services can have as well as the need for more support for patients and those close to them. Therefore, I will be raising money for Mind, the leading mental health charity, to help them continue their work.

1 in 4 people in England experience a mental health problem of some kind every year, however, most people do not get the support they need. As a charity Mind fights for mental health, aiming to ensure everyone who experiences this has access to the services they require. Mind campaign to improve services and change the way people think about mental health.

Your support will make a huge amount of difference to me, my family and the charity. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your support!
