One in five children and young people now have a probable mental health problem, with many more facing challenges such as bullying or bereavement without the support they need.

On Sunday 11 October, I'll be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Place2Be, the UK's leading school-based mental health charity. Place2Be supports children, families, and schools by providing mental health support when it's needed most.

I'm fundraising for Place2Be to help ensure children can access the support they need as early as possible, to reduce the stigma that still exists around mental health, and for little Erika, who would have greatly benefited from an initiative like this.

Thank you for your support.

Erika :)
