I’m excited to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in support of the Dreams’ charity partner Mind.

Mind’s work includes campaigns highlighting the strong link between physical and metal health — something I’ve discovered first-hand through running. Nine years ago, I reluctantly laced up for the first time, convinced I didn’t like running with the aim of getting a little fitter. I quickly discovered other benefits of exercise and since then when I’m in need of some headspace, I can usually be found clocking up the miles in the local countryside.

If you’re able to sponsor me, I’d be very grateful. Every donation will help Mind continue its vital work — and will give me some added motivation as I take on another 13.1 miles! Many thanks for your support.
